Abstract

In this paper, we consider the selective graph coloring problem. Given an integer k≥1 and a graph G=(V,E) with a partition V1,…,Vp of V, it consists in deciding whether there exists a set V* in G such that |V*∩Vi|=1 for all i∈{1,…,p}, and such that the graph induced by V* is k-colorable. We investigate the complexity status of this problem in various classes of graphs.
