Abstract
The "reconfiguration problem" for circular colourings asks, given two -colourings and of a graph , is it possible to transform into by changing the colour of one vertex at a time such that every intermediate mapping is a -colouring? We show that this problem can be solved in polynomial time for and is PSPACE-complete for . This generalizes a known dichotomy theorem for reconfiguring classical graph colourings.
