Abstract: Let $X$ be a two-cell complex with attaching map $alphacolon{S}^{q}o{S}^p$, and let $C_X$ be the cofiber of the diagonal inclusion $XoXimesX$. It is shown that the topological complexity ($mTC$) of $X$ agrees with the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category ($mcat$) of $C_X$ in the (almost stable) range $qleq2p-1$. In addition, the equality $mTC(X)=mcat(C_X)$ is proved in the (strict) metastable range $2p-1<qleq3(p-1)$ under fairly mild conditions by making use of the Hopf invariant techniques recently developed by the authors in their study of the sectional category of arbitrary maps.
