Abstract
Let be a connected closed non-orientable surface of genus at least 6. In this work we prove that there exists a finite subgraph (Irmak's finite rigid set from ``Elmas Irmak. Exhausting curve complexes by finite rigid sets on nonorientable surfaces. J.Topol.Anal., 16(2):261--289, 2024'') such that any graph endomorphism of whose restriction to is (locally) injective, is induced by a homeomorphism of . To prove this, we first prove that and its rigid expansions exhaust .
