Abstract

In this paper we prove that the PRECOLORING EXTENSION problem on graphs of maximum degree 3 is polynomially solvable, but even its restricted version with 3 colors is NP-complete on planar bipartite graphs of maximum degree 4. The restricted version of LIST COLORING, in which the union of all lists consists of 3 colors, is shown to be NP-complete on planar 3-regular bipartite graphs.
