vignette proposalReduction to 3-Coloring Given a graph G = (V, E), a valid 3-coloring assigns each vertex in the graph a color from {red, green, blue} such that for any edge (u, v), u and v have different colors. In the 3-coloring problem, our goal is to find a valid 3-coloring if one exists. In this problem, we will give a reduction from 3-SAT to the 3-coloring problem. Since we know that 3-SAT is NP-Hard (there is a reduction to 3-SAT from every NP problem), this will show that 3-coloring is NP-Hard (there is a reduction to 3-coloring from every NP problem)
