A vertex-subset graph problem Q defines which subsets of the vertices of an input graph are feasible solutions. A reconfiguration variant of a vertex-subset problem asks, given two feasible solutions of size k, whether it is possible to transform one into the other by a sequence of vertex additions/deletions such that each intermediate set remains a feasible solution of size bounded by k. We study reconfiguration variants of two classical vertex subset problems, namely INDEPENDENT SET and DOMINATING SET. We denote the former by ISR and the latter by DSR. Both ISR and DSR are PSPACE-complete on graphs of bounded bandwidth and w [1.]-hard parameterized by k on general graphs. We show that ISR is fixed-parameter tractable parameterized by k when the input graph is of bounded degeneracy or nowhere dense. For DSR, we show the problem fixed-parameter tractable parameterized by k when the input graph does not contain large bicliques. (C) 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
