Assume that each edge of a graph G=(V,E) is given a weight, which is a
n element of some group G. The weight of a path P is defined as the pr
oduct of the weights of the edges along P. The group path problem is t
o find a chordless path of a given weight between two given vertices.
It generalizes the parity path problem considered by Hsu. We show that
the recognition problem associated with the group path problem is NP-
complete in general, and present an 0(Absolute value of G . Absolute v
alue of E + Absolute value of V) time algorithm for the group path pro
blem on a chordal graph.
