A simple example of an np hard problem is the subset sum problem a more precise specification is. If you allow multiple integers encoded in unary a disjoint union of path graphs, then you can use some strongly npcomplete problems like 3partition. An uncolored path graph basically encodes an integer, so you can take any nphard problem involving unaryencoded integers and reinterpret it as a path graph problem. Not all nontrivial properties of a graph lead to npcomplete problems. In fact, for many specific instances of np complete problems there are polynomial solutions, but for the general problem, it may take exponential complexity.
