Abstract:Given an n-vertex graph G and two positive integers d, k ∈ N, the (d, kn)-differential coloring problem asks for a coloring of the vertices of G (if one exists) with distinct numbers from 1 to kn (treated as colors), such that the minimum difference between the two colors of any adjacent vertices is at least d. While it was known that the problem of determining whether a general graph is (2, n)-differential colorable is NPcomplete, our main contribution is a complete characterization of bipartite, planar and o… Show more
