Abstract

In this paper we will describe a new class of coloring problems, arising from military frequency assignment, where we want tominimize the number of distinct n-uples of colors used to color a givenset of n-complete-subgraphs of a graph. We will propose two relaxations based onSemi-Definite Programming models for graph and hypergraphcoloring, to approximate those (generally) NP-hard problems, as well asa generalization of the works of Karger et al. for hypergraph coloring,to find good feasible solutions with a probabilisticapproach.
