摘要
In the minimum sum coloring problem we have to assign positive integers to the vertices of a graph in such a way that neighbors receive different numbers and the sum of the numbers is minimized. Szkalicki has shown that minimum sum coloring is NP-hard for interval graphs. Here we present a simpler proof of this result. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
