The NP-completeness of authomorphic colorings

چکیده

Given a graph G, an automorphic edge(vertex)-coloring of G is a proper edge(vertex)-coloring such that each automorphism of the graph preserves the coloring. The automorphic chromatic index (number) is the least integer k for which G admits an automorphic edge(vertex)coloring with k colors. We show that it is NP-complete to determine the automorphic chromatic index and the automorphic chromatic number of an arbitrary graph.

Treedepth Bounds in Linear Colorings

Low-treedepth colorings are an important tool for algorithms that exploit structure in classes of bounded expansion; they guarantee subgraphs that use few colors are guaranteed to have bounded treedepth. These colorings have an implicit tradeoff between the total number of colors used and the treedepth bound, and prior empirical work suggests that the former dominates the run time of existing a...

Negative results on acyclic improper colorings

Raspaud and Sopena showed that the oriented chromatic number of a graph with acyclic chromatic number k is at most k2. We prove that this bound is tight for k ≥ 3. We also consider acyclic improper colorings on planar graphs and partial ktrees. Finally, we show that some improper and/or acyclic colorings are NP-complete on restricted subclasses of planar graphs, in particular acyclic 3-colorabi...

Near-Colorings: Non-Colorable Graphs and NP-Completeness

A graph G is (d1, . . . , dl)-colorable if the vertex set of G can be partitioned into subsets V1, . . . , Vl such that the graph G[Vi] induced by the vertices of Vi has maximum degree at most di for all 1 6 i 6 l. In this paper, we focus on complexity aspects of such colorings when l = 2, 3. More precisely, we prove that, for any fixed integers k, j, g with (k, j) 6= (0, 0) and g > 3, either e...

Acyclic Coloring with Few Division Vertices

An acyclic k-coloring of a graph G is a mapping φ from the set of vertices of G to a set of k distinct colors such that no two adjacent vertices receive the same color and φ does not contain any bichromatic cycle. In this paper we prove that every planar graph with n vertices has a 1-subdivision that is acyclically 3-colorable (respectively, 4-colorable), where the number of division vertices i...

The chromatic sum of a graph: history and recent developments

The chromatic sum of a graph is the smallest sum of colors among all proper colorings with natural numbers. The strength of a graph is the minimum number of colors necessary to obtain its chromatic sum. A natural generalization of chromatic sum is optimum cost chromatic partition (OCCP) problem, where the costs of colors can be arbitrary positive numbers. Existing results about chromatic sum, s...
