For a positive integer k, a radio k-coloring of a simple connected graph G = (V(G), E(G)) is a mapping f : V (G) → { 0 , 1 , 2 , ... } such that | f (u) - f (v) | ≥ k + 1 - d (u , v) for each pair of distinct vertices u and v of G, where d(u, v) is the distance between u and v in G. The span of a radio k-coloring f, rc
k (f), is the maximum integer assigned by it to some vertex of G. The radio k-chromatic number, rck (G) of G is min{rck (f)}, where the minimum is taken over all radio k-colorings f of G. If k is the diameter of G, then rck (G) is known as the radio number of G. In this paper, we propose an improved upper bound of radio k-chromatic number for a given graph against the other which is due to Saha and Panigrahi (in: Arumugan, Smyth (eds) Combinatorial algorithms (IWOCA 2012). Lecure notes in computer science, vol 7643, Springer, Berlin, 2012). The computational study shows that the proposed algorithm overcomes the previous algorithm. We introduce a polynomial algorithm [differs from the other that is due to Liu and Zhu (SIAM J Discrete Math 19(3):610–621, 2005)] which determines the radio number of the path graph Pn . Finally, we propose a new integer linear programming model for the radio k-coloring problem. The computational study between the proposed algorithm and LINGO solver shows that the proposed algorithm overcomes LINGO solver. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published
