Abstract

Graph colouring is a combinatorial optimisation problem that colours each vertex such that no two close vertices have the same colour while using the fewest hues feasible. The chromatic number (χ(G)) represents the minimal colour required for this kind of colouring. This paper explores the development and enhancement of χ(G)-based combinatorial algorithms for efficient graph colouring. The recommended solution uses heuristics and predictable combinatorial structures to handle colouring complexity, particularly in large and sparse networks. Comparisons with greedy and DSATUR approaches show that the unique methodology finds optimum colour assignments faster and uses fewer computer resources. Graph features including order, density, and maximum degree Δ(G) are evaluated to determine their impact on algorithm performance. Analytical analysis shows that adaptive colour-class merging and symmetry breaking may be utilised to actively change the combinatorial structure of \u03c7(G). These methods may improve frequency assignment, timetabling, register allocation, and network architecture design.
