Abstract
The lexicographically first maximal (lfm) induced path problem is shown Δ p2 -complete. The lfm rooted tree problem is also δ p2 -complete. But when restricted to topologically sorted directed acyclic graphs (dags), the lfm rooted tree problem allows a polynomial time algorithm. Moreover, the problem restricted dags with degree 3 is shown in NC2 while the problem for degree 4 is P-complete.
