Abstract:
I will present a technique know as fast subset convolution for Exact Exponential Algorithms. We will see how this technique immediately gives algorithms for a bunch of coloring and covering problems on graphs, and in particular solves the problem of finding the chromatic number of a graph in O*(2^n) time, which was open till 2006.
