On the complexity of finding well-balanced orientations with upper bounds on the out-degrees

We show that the problem of deciding whether a given graph $G$ has a well-balanced orientation $\vec{G}$ such that $d_{\vec{G}}^+(v)\leq \ell(v)$ for all $v \in V(G)$ for a given function $\ell:V(G)\rightarrow \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}$ is NP-complete. We also prove a similar result for best-balanced orientations. This improves a result of Bern\' ath, Iwata, Kir\' aly, Király and Szigeti and answers a question of Frank.
