The class of known constraint automata for which the constrained synchronization problem is in NP all admit a special form. In this work, we take a closer look at them. We characterize a wider class of constraint automata that give constrained synchronization problems in NP, which encompasses all known problems in NP. We call these automata polycyclic automata. The corresponding language class of polycyclic languages is introduced. We show various characterizations and closure properties for this new language class. We then give a criterion for NP-completeness and a criterion for polynomial time solvability for polycyclic constraint languages.
