The 4-partition problem is defined as partitioning the vertex set of a graph G into at most 4 parts A, B, C, D, where each part is not required to be nonempty, and is a stable set, a clique, or has no restriction; and pairs of distinct parts are completely nonadjacent, completely adjacent, or arbitrarily adjacent. The list 4-partition problem generalizes the 4-partition problem by specifying for each vertex x, a list L(x) of parts in which x is allowed to be placed. The only list 4-partition problem not classified as either polynomial time solvable or NP-complete is the list stubborn problem (up to complementarity): A and B are stable sets, D is a clique, each vertex of A is nonadjacent to each vertex of C. We polynomially reduce the general list stubborn instance to a particular instance with a structured graph and only two types of lists. Additionally, we show that this particular list 4-partition problem is polynomially equivalent to a nonlist problem, named twofold stubborn problem. |
