| * The problem of coloring a [[multiset|(multi)set]] of [[path (graph theory)|paths]] <math>R</math> in graph <math>G</math>, in such a way that any two paths of <math>R</math> which share an edge in <math>G</math> receive different colors. Set <math>R</math> and graph <math>G</math> are provided at input. This formulation is equivalent to [[Graph coloring|vertex coloring]] the ''conflict graph'' of set <math>R</math>, i.e. a graph with vertex set <math>R</math> and edges connecting all pairs of paths of <math>R</math> which are not edge-disjoint with respect to <math>G</math>.

Set <math>I</math> and graph <math>G</math> are provided at input. This problem is a special case of a more general class of graph routing problems, known as [[call scheduling]].

| In both the above problems, the goal is usually to minimise the number of colors used in the coloring. In different variants of path coloring, <math>G</math> may be a [[simple graph]], [[directed graph|digraph]] or [[multigraph]].

Hello and welcome. My name is Figures Wunder. Hiring is her working day job now and she will not change it anytime soon. What I love performing is performing ceramics but I haven't produced a dime with it. Puerto Rico is where he's been residing for many years and he will never move.
