TL;DR

It is shown that under the same representation, graph properties that are ordinarily NP-complete become complete for non-deterministic exponential time.

Abstract

Galperin and Wigderson (Inform. and Control 56 (1983), 183–198) showed that certain trivial graph properties become NP-complete when the graph is represented in a particular exponentially succinct way. We show that under the same representation, graph properties that are ordinarily NP-complete become complete for non-deterministic exponential time.
