VertexColoring
As of Version 10, most of the functionality of the Combinatorica package is built into the Wolfram System. »
VertexColoring[g]
uses Brelaz's heuristic to find a good, but not necessarily minimal, vertex coloring of graph 
.
Details and Options
- To use VertexColoring, you first need to load the Combinatorica Package using Needs["Combinatorica`"].
- An option Algorithm that can take on the values Brelaz or Optimum is allowed.
- The setting Algorithm->Brelaz is the default, while the setting Algorithm->Optimum forces the algorithm to do an exhaustive search to find an optimum vertex coloring.
