I have to find out the time complexity of graph coloring problem using backtracking. I have found somewhere it is O(n*m^n) where n=no vertex and m= number of color.
Suppose my code is given below how to find time complexity?
bool isSafe (int v, bool graph[V][V], int color[], int c)
{
for (int i = 0; i < V; i++)
if (graph[v][i] && c == color[i])
return false;
return true;
}
bool graphColoringUtil(bool graph[V][V], int m, int color[], int v)
{
if (v == V)
return true;
for (int c = 1; c <= m; c++)
{
if (isSafe(v, graph, color, c))
{
color[v] = c;
if (graphColoringUtil (graph, m, color, v+1) == true)
return true;
color[v] = 0;
}
}
return false;
}
bool graphColoring(bool graph[V][V], int m)
{
int *color = new int[V];
for (int i = 0; i < V; i++)
color[i] = 0;
if (graphColoringUtil(graph, m, color, 0) == false)
{
printf("Solution does not exist\n");
return false;
}
printSolution(color);
return true;
}
void printSolution(int color[])
{
printf("Solution Exists:"
" Following are the assigned colors \n");
for (int i = 0; i < V; i++)
printf(" %d ", color[i]);
printf("\n");
}
The graphutil method will execute n times itself.It is in the c Loop,and c goes upto m . Now the c loop goes n times due to recursion(i.e. m^n) and recursion goes n times,So total it will be O(nm^n )
