Complexity Of

The complexity of (H, Π )-coloring when input is the class of all signed graphs is considered in the following three papers and it is proved that if the core of (H, Π ) has at least 3 vertices, then the problem in NP-hard and polynomial time otherwise.

The problem that remains of high interest and widely open is the (H, Π )-coloring when the inputs are restricted to the class of planar graphs.
