A fresh look at a randomized massively parallel graph coloring algorithm

Petford and Welsh introduced a sequential heuristic algorithm to provide an approximate solution to the NP-hard graph coloring problem. The algorithm is based on the antivoter model and mimics the behavior of a physical process based on a multi-particle system of statistical mechanics. It was later...
