Coloring Problems on Bipartite Graphs of Small Diameter

چکیده

We investigate a number of coloring problems restricted to bipartite graphs with bounded diameter. First, we the $k$-List Coloring, $k$-Coloring, and $k$-Precoloring Extension on diameter at most $d$, proving $\textsf{NP}$-completeness in cases, leaving open only List $3$-Coloring $3$-Precoloring when $d=3$.
 Some these results are obtained $\textsc{through}$ proof that Surjective $C_6$-Homomorphism problem is $\textsf{NP}$-complete four. Although latter result has been already proved [Vikas, 2017], present ours as an alternative simpler one. As byproduct, also get $3$-Biclique Partition $\textsf{NP}$-complete. An attempt prove this was presented [Fleischner, Mujuni, Paulusma, Szeider, 2009], but there flaw their proof, which identify discuss here.
 Finally, $3$-Fall Coloring four, for three would imply three, thus closing previously mentioned cases. This answer question posed [Kratochvíl, Tuza, Voigt, 2002].

Edge-Coloring Bipartite Graphs

Given a bipartite graph G with n nodes, m edges and maximum degree ∆, we find an edge coloring for G using ∆ colors in time T +O(m log ∆), where T is the time needed to find a perfect matching in a k-regular bipartite graph with O(m) edges and k ≤ ∆. Together with best known bounds for T this implies an O(m log ∆ + m ∆ log m ∆ log ∆) edge-coloring algorithm which improves on the O(m log ∆+ m ∆ ...

Balanced coloring of bipartite graphs

Given a bipartite graph G(U ∪ V, E) with n vertices on each side, an independent set I ∈ G such that |U ⋂ I| = |V ⋂ I| is called a balanced bipartite independent set. A balanced coloring of G is a coloring of the vertices of G such that each color class induces a balanced bipartite independent set in G. If graph G has a balanced coloring we call it colorable. The coloring number χB(G) is the mi...

The p-median and p-center Problems on Bipartite Graphs

Let $G$ be a bipartite graph. In this paper we consider the two kind of location problems namely $p$-center and $p$-median problems on bipartite graphs. The $p$-center and $p$-median problems asks to find a subset of vertices of cardinality $p$, so that respectively the maximum and sum of the distances from this set to all other vertices in $G$ is minimized. For each case we present some proper...

Hard coloring problems in low degree planar bipartite graphs

In this paper we prove that the PRECOLORING EXTENSION problem on graphs of maximum degree 3 is polynomially solvable, but even its restricted version with 3 colors is NP-complete on planar bipartite graphs of maximum degree 4. The restricted version of LIST COLORING, in which the union of all lists consists of 3 colors, is shown to be NP-complete on planar 3-regular bipartite graphs. © 2006 Els...

Coloring Locally Bipartite Graphs on Surfaces

It is proved that there is a function f : N → N such that the following holds. Let G be a graph embedded in a surface of Euler genus g with all faces of even size and with edge-width ≥ f(g). Then (i) If every contractible 4-cycle of G is facial and there is a face of size > 4, then G is 3-colorable. (ii) If G is a quadrangulation, then G is not 3-colorable if and only if there exist disjoint su...
