Abstract
For a graph , the -recolouring problem asks, for two given homomorphisms from a given graph to , if one can get between them by a sequence of homomorphisms of to in which consecutive homomorphisms differ on only one vertex. We show that, if and are reflexive and is triangle-free, then this problem can be solved in polynomial time. This shows, at the same time, that the closely related -reconfiguration problem of deciding whether two given homomorphisms from a given graph to are in the same component of the Hom-graph , can be solved in polynomial time for triangle-free reflexive graphs .
