We study homomorphism problems of signed graphs from a computational point of view. A signed graph is an undirected graph where each edge is given a sign, positive or negative. An important concept when studying signed graphs is the operation of switching at a vertex, which is to change the sign of each incident edge. A homomorphism of a graph is a vertex-mapping that preserves the adjacencies; in the case of signed graphs, we also preserve the edge-signs. Special homomorphisms of signed graphs, called s-homomorphisms, have been studied. In an s-homomorphism, we allow, before the mapping, to perform any number of switchings on the source signed graph. The concept of s-homomorphisms has been extensively studied, and a full complexity classification (polynomial or NP-complete) for s-homomorphism to a fixed target signed graph has recently been obtained. Nevertheless, such a dichotomy is not known when we restrict the input graph to be planar, not even for non-signed graph homomorphisms. |
