Abstract

We generalize to the bandwidth coloring problem a classical theorem, discovered independently by Gallai, Roy and Vitaver, in the context of the graph coloring problem. Two proofs are given, a simple one and a more complex one that is based on a series of equivalent mathematical programming models.
