摘要
In this paper the coloring problem for unit disk (LTD) graphs is considered. UD graphs are the intersection graphs of equal-sized disks in the plane. Colorings of UD graphs arise in the study of channel assignment problems in broadcast networks. Improving on a result of Clark et al. [2] it is shown that the coloring problem for UD graphs remains NP-complete for any fixed number of colors k greater than or equal to 3. Furthermore, a new 3-approximation algorithm for the problem is presented which is based on network flow and matching techniques.
