Coloring Sparse Random k-Colorable Graphs in Polynomial Expected Time
Abstract. Feige and Kilian [5] showed that finding reasonable approximative solutions to the coloring problem on graphs is hard. This motivates the quest for algorithms that eithe...

Why Almost All k-Colorable Graphs Are Easy to Color
Coloring a k-colorable graph using k colors (k ≥ 3) is a notoriously hard problem. Considering average case analysis allows for better results. In this work we consider the unif...

Improved Inapproximability Results for Maximum k-Colorable Subgraph
We study the maximization version of the fundamental graph coloring problem. Here the goal is to color the vertices of a k-colorable graph with k colors so that a maximum fraction ...

How Much Backtracking Does It Take to Color Random Graphs? Rigorous Results on Heavy Tails
Many backtracking algorithms exhibit heavy-tailed distributions, in which their running time is often much longer than their median. We analyze the behavior of two natural variant...
