Introduction to reconfiguration

N Nishimura - Algorithms, 2018 - mdpi.com
Reconfiguration is concerned with relationships among solutions to a problem instance,
where the reconfiguration of one solution to another is a sequence of steps such that each …

[HTML][HTML] Reconfiguration in bounded bandwidth and tree-depth

M Wrochna - Journal of Computer and System Sciences, 2018 - Elsevier
We show that several reconfiguration problems known to be PSPACE-complete remain so
even when limited to graphs of bounded bandwidth (and hence pathwidth and treewidth) …

On the parameterized complexity of reconfiguration problems

AE Mouawad, N Nishimura, V Raman, N Simjour… - Algorithmica, 2017 - Springer
We present the first results on the parameterized complexity of reconfiguration problems,
where a reconfiguration variant of an optimization problem QQ takes as input two feasible …

Reconfiguration of colourings and dominating sets in graphs

CM Mynhardt, S Nasserasr - 50 Years of Combinatorics, Graph …, 2019 - taylorfrancis.com
In graph theory, reconfiguration is concerned with relationships among solutions to a given
problem for a specific graph. The reconfiguration of one solution into another occurs via a …

Shortest reconfiguration paths in the solution space of Boolean formulas

AE Mouawad, N Nishimura, V Pathak, V Raman - SIAM Journal on Discrete …, 2017 - SIAM
Given a Boolean formula and a satisfying assignment, a flip is an operation that changes the
value of a variable in the assignment so that the resulting assignment remains satisfying. We …

[HTML][HTML] On a conjecture of Mohar concerning Kempe equivalence of regular graphs

M Bonamy, N Bousquet, C Feghali… - Journal of Combinatorial …, 2019 - Elsevier
Let G be a graph with a vertex colouring α. Let a and b be two colours. Then a connected
component of the subgraph induced by those vertices coloured either a or b is known as a …

Finding shortest paths between graph colourings

M Johnson, D Kratsch, S Kratsch, V Patel, D Paulusma - Algorithmica, 2016 - Springer
The k k-colouring reconfiguration problem asks whether, for a given graph GG, two proper k
k-colourings α α and β β of GG, and a positive integer ℓ ℓ, there exists a sequence of at most …

[HTML][HTML] Reconfiguration on sparse graphs

D Lokshtanov, AE Mouawad, F Panolan… - Journal of Computer and …, 2018 - Elsevier
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 …

Homomorphism reconfiguration via homotopy

M Wrochna - SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, 2020 - SIAM
For a fixed graph H, we consider the H-Recoloring problem: given a graph G and two H-
colorings of G, ie, homomorphisms from G to H, can one be transformed into the other by …

[HTML][HTML] Fast recoloring of sparse graphs

N Bousquet, G Perarnau - European Journal of Combinatorics, 2016 - Elsevier
In this paper, we show that for every graph of maximum average degree bounded away from
d and any two (d+ 1)-colorings of it, one can transform one coloring into the other one within …
