A Column Generation-Based Lower Bound for the Minimum Sum Coloring Problem

The objective of this paper is to derive a tight and efficient lower bound for the minimum sum coloring problem. This NP-hard problem is a variant of the classical graph coloring problem where the objective is to minimize the sum of the colors. A column generation approach is proposed to solve the l...
