Total coloring with Delta + poly(log Delta ) colors

We provide a polynomial time algorithm which finds a total coloring of any graph with maximum degree Delta , Delta sufficiently large, using at most Delta + 8 log super(8) Delta colors. This improves the best previous upper bound on the total chromatic number of Delta + 18 Delta super(1/3)log(3 Delt...

Zusammenfassung:We provide a polynomial time algorithm which finds a total coloring of any graph with maximum degree Delta , Delta sufficiently large, using at most Delta + 8 log super(8) Delta colors. This improves the best previous upper bound on the total chromatic number of Delta + 18 Delta super(1/3)log(3 Delta ).
