This paper considers the question whether every homotopy domination of a polyhedron over itself is a homotopy equivalence. Throughout the paper, every polyhedron is assumed to be connected and finite. The main result of the paper is that if \(P\) is a polyhedron with \(\dim P = 2\) such that \(\pi_1(P)\) is weakly Hopfian, then every homotopy domination of \(P\) over itself is a homotopy equivalence. As an application, the author answers the question affirmatively for every 2-dimensional polyhedron with elementary amenable fundamental group of finite cohomological dimension.
