摘要: We consider the problem of coloring a planar graph with minimum number colors such that each color class avoids one or more forbidden graphs as subgraphs. perform detailed study computational complexity this problem.We present complete picture for case single connected (induced non-induced) subgraph. The 2-coloring is NP-hard if subgraph tree at least two edges, and it polynomially solvable in all other cases. 3-coloring path, also derive results several sets cycles.
