The HOM problem is decidable
We close affirmatively a question which has been open for long time: decidability of the HOM problem. The HOM problem consists in determining, given a tree homomorphism D and a re...

New Plain-Exponential Time Classes for Graph Homomorphism
A homomorphism from a graph G to a graph H (in this paper, both simple, undirected graphs) is a mapping f : V (G) → V (H) such that if uv ∈ E(G) then f(u)f(v) ∈ E(H). The pro...

Tree-width and functional dependencies in databases
Conjunctive query (CQ) evaluation on relational databases is NP-complete in general. Several restrictions, like bounded tree-width and bounded hypertree-width, allow polynomial ti...

NP-hardness of Deciding Convexity of Quartic Polynomials and Related Problems
We show that unless P=NP, there exists no polynomial time (or even pseudo-polynomial time) algorithm that can decide whether a multivariate polynomial of degree four (or higher ev...
