Abstract

In this paper we present our study of the minimum sum coloring problem (MSCP). We propose a general lower bound for MSCP based on extraction of specific partial graphs. Also, we propose a lower bound using some decomposition into cliques. The experimental results show that our approach improves the results for most literature instances.
