Abstract
Finding a homomorphism from some hypergraph (or some relational structure) to another hypergraph is a fundamental problem in computer science. We show that an answer to this problem can be maintained under single-edge changes of , as long as it stays acyclic, in the framework of Patnaik and Immerman that uses updates expressed in first-order logic. If additionally also changes of are allowed, we show that it is unlikely that existence of homomorphisms can be maintained in .
