Repair radii and villainy

Builds on Graph colouringDistance from a point to a set

Summary

A repair radius measures how far a colouring of a graph GG with a given profile of class sizes can be from a proper one.

The radius RG(m)R_G(m) is the largest Hamming distance from a point to a set, over colourings with profile mm, to the set of proper colourings with profile mm.

The weak radius RGw(m)R^w_G(m) lets the nearest proper colouring have any profile.

The villainy B(G)B(G) and the weak villainy Bw(G)B_w(G) are the maxima of these radii over feasible profiles, and both are zero for the empty graph.
