Title
NP-completeness of local colorings of graphs.
Abstract
•We study the local k-coloring of graphs.•We prove that it is NP-complete to determine whether a graph has a local k-coloring for fixed k=4 or k=2t−1, where t≥3.•We prove that it is NP-complete to determine whether a planar graph has a local 5-coloring even restricted to the maximum degree Δ=7 or 8.
