Abstract

Let $G$ be a graph and $Ds$ and $Dt$ be two dominating sets of $G$ of size $k$. Does there exist a sequence $\langle D0 = Ds, D1, \ldots, D{\ell-1}, D\ell = Dt \rangle$ of dominating sets of $G$ such that $D{i+1}$ can be obtained from $Di$ by replacing one vertex with one of its neighbors? In this paper, we investigate the complexity of this decision problem. We first prove that this problem is PSPACE-complete, even when restricted to split, bipartite or bounded treewidth graphs. On the other hand, we prove that it can be solved in polynomial time on dually chordal graphs (a superclass of both trees and interval graphs) or cographs.

We're not able to analyze this paper right now due to high demand.
