The complexity of independent set reconfiguration on bipartite graphs

Abstract

We settle the complexity of the Independent Set Reconfiguration problem on bipartite graphs under all three commonly studied reconfiguration models. We show that under the token jumping or token addition/removal model the problem is NP-complete. For the token sliding model, we show that the problem remains PSPACE-complete.
