/**
 * The Welsh-Powell algorithm is a graph coloring algorithm that aims to color a graph
 * using the minimum number of colors such that no two adjacent vertices share the same color.
 *
 * <p>
 * The algorithm works by:
 * <ol>
 * <li>Sorting the vertices in descending order based on their degrees (number of edges connected).</li>
 * <li>Iterating through each vertex and assigning it the smallest available color that has not been used by its adjacent vertices.</li>
 * <li>Coloring adjacent vertices with the same color is avoided.</li>
 * </ol>
 * </p>
