Alignment Strength and Correlation for Graphs

Combinatorics 2020-01-22 v4

Abstract

When two graphs have a correlated Bernoulli distribution, we prove that the alignment strength of their natural bijection strongly converges to a novel measure of graph correlation ρT\rho_T that neatly combines intergraph with intragraph distribution parameters. Within broad families of the random graph parameter settings, we illustrate that exact graph matching runtime and also matchability are both functions of ρT\rho_T, with thresholding behavior starkly illustrated in matchability.
