Abstract

Very few NP-complete problems on unlabelled graphs are known to stay NP-complete when restricted to cographs or interval graphs. In this note we prove that the Achromatic Number problem is NP-complete when restricted to connected graphs that are simultaneously a cograph and an interval graph.
