For a fixed reflexive digraph H=(V(H), E(H)), the list homomorphim
problem, LHOM(H), is the following: given an input graph G=(V(G), E(G)) and
for each vertex v \in G a list L(v)\subset V(G), decide if there is a
homomorphism f:G\longrightarrow H such that f(v)\in L(v) for each v\in V(G).
This problem is equivalent to CSP(H_u), where H_u is the structure obtained
by expanding H with all possible unary relations. Bulatov showed that a
dichotomy holds for the LHOM problem of arbitrary structures, but his result
does not tell us which classes of graphs are tractable and which ones are
NP-complete. Feder, Hell, Huang and Rafiey showed that if H is an adjusted
interval digraph then LHOM(H) is tractable and conjectured that otherwise
it is NP-complete. We show that if H is not an adjusted interval digraph
then it does not have weak-near-unanimity operations, and consequently it
must be NP-complete. This is joint work with Arash Rafiey and Pavol Hell.
