Path coloring

Path coloring is a concept used in computer science and graph theory, particularly in the study of coloring problems. It generally involves assigning colors to the vertices or edges of a path (a simple graph with vertices connected in a linear sequence) such that certain constraints or properties are met. A common context in which path coloring arises is in scheduling or optimization problems, where the goal might be to minimize conflicts or resource usage over a sequence of tasks represented as a path.
