Abstract

We give a (1.796+ϵ)(1.796+\epsilon)-approximation for the minimum sum coloring problem on chordal graphs, improving over the previous 3.591-approximation by Gandhi et al. [2005]. To do so, we also design the first polynomial-time approximation scheme for the maximum kk-colorable subgraph problem in chordal graphs.
