title: Negative results on acyclic improper colorings
keywords: acyclic colorings, oriented colorings, NP-completeness
abstract: Raspaud and Sopena showed that the oriented chromatic number of a graph with acyclic chromatic number
k
is at most
k2
k-1
. We prove that this bound is tight for
k≥3
. We also show that some improper and/or acyclic colorings are NP-complete on a class
C
of planar graphs. We try to get the most restrictive conditions on the class
C
, such as having large girth and small maximum degree. In particular, we obtain the NP-completeness of
3-acyclic colorability
on bipartite planar graphs with maximum degree 4, and of
4-acyclic colorability
on bipartite planar graphs with maximum degree 8.

The first source gives you the `gzipped' PostScript, the second the plain PostScript and the third the format for the Adobe accrobat reader. Depending on the installation of your web browser, at least one of these should (after some amount of time) pop up a window for you that shows the full article. If this is not the case, you should contact your system administrator to install your browser correctly.

Due to limitations of your local software, the two formats may show up differently on your screen. If eg you use xpdf to visualize pdf, some of the graphics in the file may not come across. On the other hand, pdf has a capacity of giving links to sections, bibliography and external references that will not appear with PostScript.
