/* This algorithm is to find coloring of a graph

   Algorithm:
   Let G = (V,E) be a graph with vertices (somehow) ordered v_1, v_2, ...,
   v_n. For k = 1, 2, ..., n the sequential algorithm assigns v_k to the
   smallest possible color.

   matrices and graph coloring problems. J. Numer. Anal. V20, P187-209, 1983

   v_k is stored as o[k] here.

   The color of the vertex v will be stored in color[v].
   i.e., vertex v belongs to coloring color[v] */
