The classical NP-hard weighted vertex coloring problem consists in minimizing the number of colors in colorings of vertices of a given graph so that, for each vertex, the number of its colors equals a given weight of the vertex and adjacent vertices receive distinct colors. The weighted chromatic number is the smallest number of colors in these colorings. There are several polynomial-time algorithmic techniques for designing efficient algorithms for the weighted vertex coloring problem. For example, standard techniques of this kind are the modular graph decomposition and the graph decomposition by separating cliques. This article proposes new polynomial-time methods for graph reduction in the form of removing redundant vertices and recomputing weights of the remaining vertices so that the weighted chromatic number changes in a controlled manner. We also present a method of reducing the weighted vertex coloring problem to its unweighted version and its application. This paper contributes to the algorithmic graph theory.

The vertex coloring problem is a well-known combinatorial problem that requires each vertex to be assigned a corresponding color so that the colors on adjacent vertices are different, and the total number of colors used is minimized. It is a famous NP-hard problem in graph theory. As of now, there is no effective algorithm to solve it. As a kind of intelligent computing algorithm, DNA computing has the advantages of high parallelism and high storage density, so it is widely used in solving classical combinatorial optimization problems. In this paper, we propose a new DNA algorithm that uses DNA molecular operations to solve the vertex coloring problem. For a simple n-vertex graph and k different kinds of color, we appropriately use DNA strands to indicate edges and vertices. Through basic biochemical reaction operations, the solution to the problem is obtained in the O (kn2) time complexity. Our proposed DNA algorithm is a new attempt and application for solving Nondeterministic Polynomial (NP) problem, and it provides clear evidence for the ability of DNA calculations to perform such difficult computational problems in the future.
