Max Edge Coloring of Trees (0901.4002v1)
Published 26 Jan 2009 in cs.DS
Abstract: We study the weighted generalization of the edge coloring problem where the weight of each color class (matching) equals to the weight of its heaviest edge and the goal is to minimize the sum of the colors' weights. We present a 3/2-approximation algorithm for trees.
