DOIAbstract
A biclique of a graph G is an induced complete bipartite graph. A star of G is a biclique contained in the closed neighborhood of a vertex. A star (biclique) k-coloring of G is a k-coloring of G that contains no monochromatic maximal stars (bicliques). Similarly, for a list assignment L of G, a star (biclique) L-coloring is an L-coloring of G in which no maximal star (biclique) is monochromatic. If G admits a star (biclique) L- coloring for every k-list assignment L, then G is said to be star (biclique) k-choosable. In this article we study the computational complexity of the star and biclique coloring and choosability problems. Specifically, we prove that the star (biclique) k-coloring and k-choosability problems are Σp2-complete and IIp3-...
