Mathematical Research Seminar
Mathematical research seminar is organized by the departments of Mathematics of two members of the University - UP FAMNIT and Andrej Marušič Institute (UP IAM), every Monday from October to June.
You are cordially invited to attend the lectures.
In this talk, Prof. Bodlaender will present versions of graph coloring inspired by scheduling problems. Each vertex of a conflict graph represents a job, and edges indicate conflicts requiring jobs to be scheduled at different times. Starting from classical graph coloring (unit-length jobs), the talk will explore several generalizations involving variable job lengths, release times, deadlines, and weighted completion times. The focus will be on the computational complexity of these problems, particularly when the conflict graph has bounded pathwidth or treewidth. This is joint work with Danny Hermelin and Erik Jan van Leeuwen.
Everyone is warmly welcome!
