Abstract
In this document, we explore the complexity of the shortest path problem in a layered directed acyclic graph under consistency constraints. In this context, a consistency constraint imposes that the optimal path select nodes with the same labels in some layers of the graph. We show that this problem is NP-Hard by reducing the 3-SAT problem to it.
