Abstract

We prove that 3-Coloring remains NP-hard on 4- and 5-regular planar Hamiltonian graphs, strengthening the results of Dailey [Disc. Math.'80] and Fleischner and Sabidussi [J. Graph. Theor.'02]. Moreover, we prove that 3-Coloring remains NP-hard on pp-regular Hamiltonian graphs for every p6p\geq 6 and pp-ordered regular Hamiltonian graphs for every p3p\geq 3.
