Geom. 45, No. 9, 508-514 (2012).} \itemab Summary: We present approximation algorithms for CF-coloring of points on a line with respect to a given set of intervals. For the restricted case where no two intervals have a common right endpoint, we present a 2-approximation algorithm, and, for the general case where intervals may share a right endpoint, we present a 4-approximation algorithm. The running time of both algorithms is $O(n \log n)$. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{conflict-free coloring; frequency assignment; approximation algorithms} \itemli{doi:10.1016/j.comgeo.2012.01.013} \end
