Abstract

We examine the effect of bounding the diameter for well-studied variants of the Colouring problem. A colouring is acyclic, star, or injective if any two colour classes induce a forest, star forest or disjoint union of vertices and edges, respectively. The corresponding decision problems are Acyclic Colouring, Star Colouring and Injective Colouring. The last problem is also known as L (1, 1)-Labelling and we also consider the framework of L (a, b)-Labelling. We prove a number of (almost-)complete complexity classifications, in particular, for Acyclic 3-Colouring, Star 3-Colouring and L (1, 2)-Labelling.
