Abstract

Graph coloring has numerous applications and is a well-known NP-complete problem. The goal of this paper is to survey recent results of the authors on coloring and improper coloring of sparse graphs and to point out some polynomial-time algorithms for coloring (not necessarily optimal) of graphs with bounded maximum average degree.
