Abstract: | GRAPH BURNING asks, given a graph G = (V, E) and an integer k, whether there exists (b(0), ...,b(k-1)) is an element of V-k such that every vertex in G has distance at most i from some b(i). This problem is known to be NP-complete even on connected caterpillars of maximum degree 3. We study the parameterized complexity of this problem and answer all questions by Kare and Reddy [IWOCA 2019] about the parameterized complexity of the problem. We show that the problem is W[2]-complete parameterized by k and that it does not admit a polynomial kernel parameterized by vertex cover number unless NP subset of coNP/poly. We also show that the problem is fixed-parameter tractable parameterized by clique-width plus the maximum diameter among all connected components. This implies the fixed-parameter tractability parameterized by modular-width, by treedepth, and by distance to cographs. Using a different technique, we show that parameterization by distance to split graphs is also tractable. We finally show that the problem parameterized by max leaf number is XP. |
