title = "H-colorings of large degree graphs",
abstract = "We consider the H-coloring problem on graphs with vertices of large degree. We prove that for H an odd cycle, the problem belongs to P. We also study the phase transition of the problem, for an infinite family of graphs of a given chromatic number, i.e. the threshold density value for which the problem changes from P to NP-complete. We extend the result for the case that the input graph has a logarithmic size of small degree vertices. As a corollary, we get a new result on the chromatic number; a new family of graphs, for which computing the chromatic number can be done in polynomial time.",
