Abstract

The group chromatic number of a graph G is the smallest integer k such that for every Abelian group A of order at least k, every orientation of G and every edge-labeling ϕ : E(G) → A, there exists a vertex-coloring c : V(G) → A with c(v) - c(u) ≠ ϕ(uv) for each oriented edge uv of G. We show that the decision problem whether a given graph has group chromatic number at most k is Πp2-complete for each integer k ≥ 3.
