Abstract

Let G be a weighted graph such that each vertex v has a positive integer weight ω(v). A weighted coloring of G is to assign a set of ω(v) colors to each vertex v so that any two adjacent vertices receive disjoint sets of colors. This paper gives an efficient algorithm to find the minimum number of colors required for a weighted coloring of a given series-parallel graph G in time O(nωmax), where n is the number of vertices and ωmax is the maximum vertex-weight of G.
