In this work, we study upper and lower bounds of the Minimum Sum Coloring Problem (MSCP) from a uniform point of view. MSCP is a graph coloring problem whose goal is to minimize the sum of colors, where colors are represented by natural numbers. We propose calculating upper and lower bounds for MSCP using a single coloring algorithm: a Memetic Algorithm (MA) hybridizing a simple genetic algorithm with local search. Our lower bound is based on partitioning the original graph into cliques. In this context we define a new problem for obtaining this kind of general lower bound, namely Partition into Cliques for MSCP (PCMSCP), and prove its NPcompleteness. We test our algorithm and compare it with other algorithms | In this work, we study upper and lower bounds of the Minimum Sum Coloring Problem (MSCP) from a uniform point of view.
