Dichotomies properties on computational complexity of S-packing coloring problems

Abstract: This work establishes the complexity class of several instances of the S-packing coloring problem: for a graph G, a positive integer k and a nondecreasing list of integers S = (s1, . . . , s k ), G is S-colorable if its vertices can be partitioned into sets Si, i = 1, . . . , k, where each Si is an si-packing (a set of vertices at pairwise distance greater than si). In particular we prove a dichotomy between NP-complete problems and polynomial-time solvable problems for lists of at most four integers.Let S k d… Show more

“…If G is any graph that admits an S-packing coloring c and c(v) = 1 for some v ∈ V (G), then deg(v) ≤ k − 1 since no pair of neighbors of v are assigned the same color under c. An immediate consequence of this is that no cubic graph is (1, 2, 2)-packing colorable. On the other hand, there exist subcubic graphs that are (1, 2, 2)-packing colorable (for example, any path), and Gastineau [29] proved that it is NP-complete to determine if a subcubic bipartite graph is (1, 2, 2)-packing colorable. However, by allowing a partition of V (G) into an independent set and at least six 2-packings we have the following result.…”

“…, p k )-labellings [14], where two vertices separated by a distance i must be labelled with colors whose mutual distance is at least p i . Some coloring problems have also arisen in direct connection with the frequency assignment problem, such as T -colorings [24] and the S-packing coloring [10]. In the former, given a set T of non-negative integers that represent disallowed separations between channels, the difference between two colors of adjacent vertices must not belong to T .…”

“…The concept has attracted a considerable attention recently: there are around 30 papers on the topic (see e.g. [1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,22] and references in them). In particular, Fiala and Golovach [10] proved that finding the packing chromatic number of a graph is NP-hard even in the class of trees.…”
