Abstract

We show that a nontrivial graph isomorphism problem of two undirected graphs, and more generally, the permutation similarity of two given n×nn\times n matrices, is equivalent to equalities of volumes of the induced three convex bounded polytopes intersected with a given sequence of balls, centered at the origin with radii ti(0,n1)t_i\in (0,\sqrt{n-1}), where {ti}\{t_i\} is an increasing sequence converging to n1\sqrt{n-1}. These polytopes are characterized by n2n^2 inequalities in at most n2n^2 variables. The existence of fpras for computing volumes of convex bodies gives rise to a semi-frpas of order O(n14)O^*(n^{14}) at most to find if given two undirected graphs are isomorphic.
