NP-Completeness of Neighborhood Balanced Colorings

Computational Complexity 2024-07-30 v1

Abstract

A Neighborhood Balanced Coloring (NBC) of a graph is a red-blue coloring where each vertex has the same number of red and blue neighbors. This work proves that determining if a graph admits an NBC is NP-complete. We present a genetic algorithm to solve this problem, which we implemented and compared against exact and randomized algorithms.
