Problem Definition

Given is an unweighted, undirected graph G =< V, E > with a set of nodes V and a set of edges E. Each node is assigned to one subgraph, a so-called cluster Ci. In total there are n disjoint clusters. The goal is to find a subgraph S = G(W) with W =< v1, ..., vn > where vi ∈ Ci, 1 ≤ i ≤ n. The subgraph should have a minimal chromatic number. The chromatic number is the minimal number of different colors using which the nodes of a graph can be colored so that there is no single pair of nodes u and v connected by an edge (u, v) that have the same color.

Thus, the SGCP is an extension of the graph coloring problem, which computer scientists and mathematicians have studied for decades. The Graph Coloring Problem is about computing the chromatic number of a given graph, and already in 1972 it was discovered to be an NP-equivalent problem. [9] Since the Graph Coloring Problem is a subproblem of the selective graph coloring problem, the selective graph coloring problem is NP-hard as well. For this reason it makes sense to use a heuristic approach both to estimate the chromatic number of a possible solution and to find a better solution.
