Abstract

We study the AprxColoring$(q,Q)$ problem: Given a graph $G$, decide whether $\chi(G)\le q$ or $\chi(G)\ge Q$. We present hardness results for this problem for any constants $3\le qProceedings of the 34th Annual ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing, 2002, pp. 767-775]. For $q=3$, we base our hardness result on a certain “${\rhd\hskip-0.5emAnn. of Math. (2), to appear] and should have wider applicability.
