In the problem Mix(H) one is given a graph G and must decide if the Hom-graph Hom(G, H) is connected. We show that if H is a triangle-free reflexive graph with at least one cycle, Mix(H) is coNP-complete. The main part of this is a reduction to the problem NonFlat(H) for a simplicial complex H, in which one is given a simplicial complex G and must decide if there are any simplicial maps φ from G to H under which some 1-cycles of G maps to homologically non-trivial cycle of H. We show that for any reflexive graph H, if the clique complex H of H has a free, non-trivial homology group H 1 (H), then NonFree(H) is NP-complete.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
