Abstract

Vertex Relabeling is a variant of the graph relabeling problem. In this problem, the input is a graph and two vertex labelings, and the question is to determine how close are the labelings. The distance measure is the minimum number of label swaps necessary to transform the graph from one labeling to the other, where a swap is the interchange of the labels of two adjacent nodes. We are interested in the complexity of determining the swap distance. The problem has been recently explored for various restricted classes of graphs, but its complexity in general graphs has not been established.
We show that the problem is \(\mathcal {NP}\)-hard. In addition we consider restricted versions of the problem where a node can only participate in a bounded number of swaps. We show that the problem is \(\mathcal {NP}\)-hard under these restrictions as well.
