For a class G of graphs, the problem Subgraph Complement to G asks whether one can find a subset S of vertices of the input graph G such that complementing the subgraph induced by S in G results in a graph in G. We investigate the complexity of the problem when G is H-free for H being a complete graph, a star, a path, or a cycle. We obtain the following results: • When H is a Kt (a complete graph on t vertices) for any fixed t ≥ 1, the problem is solvable in polynomial-time. This applies even…

It is shown that this problem can be solved in polynomial time for various choices of the graphs class G, such as bipartite, d -degenerate, or cographs, and that the problem is NP -complete when G is the class of regular graphs.

A generalized reduction that is based on an algorithm that represents an arbitrary k-CNF formula as a disjunction of 2?nk-C NF formulas that are sparse, that is, each disjunct has O(n) clauses, and shows that Circuit-SAT is SERF-complete for all NP-search problems.

### Edge-Deletion Problems

This paper shows that the edge-deletion problem is NP-complete for the following properties: (1) without cycles of specified length l, or of any length $\leqq l$, (2) connected and degree-constrained, (3) outerplanar, (4) transitive digraph, (5) line-invertible, (6) bipartite, (7)transitively orientable.
