Abstract

We study the multicoloring problem with two objective functions: minimizing the makespan and minimizing the multisum. We focus on partial k-trees and planar graphs. In particular, we give polynomial time approximation schemes (PTAS) for both classes, for both preemptive and non-preemptive multisum colorings.
