  • 摘要:$ \def\parityP{\oplus\mathrm{P}} $

    Given a graph $G$, we investigate the problem of determining the parity of the number of homomorphisms from $G$ to some other fixed graph $H$. We conjecture that this problem exhibits a complexity dichotomy, such that all parity graph homomorphism problems are either polynomial-time solvable or $\parityP$--complete, and provide a conjectured characterisation of the easy cases.

    We show that the conjecture is true for the restricted case in which the graph $H$ is a tree, and provide some tools that may be useful in further investigation into the parity graph homomorphism problem, and the problem of counting homomorphisms for other moduli
