The problem of compatible representatives
Donald E. Knuth, Arvind Raghunathan
Abstract
The purpose of this note is to attach a name to a natural class of combinatorial problems and to point out that this class includes many important special cases. We also show that a simple problem of placing nonoverlapping labels on a rectangular map is NP-complete.
