Abstract

The convex hull ψn,n\psi_{n,n} of certain (n!)2(n!)^2 tensors was considered recently in connection with graph isomorphism. We consider the convex hull ψn\psi_n of the n!n! diagonals among these tensors. We show: 1. The polytope ψn\psi_n is a face of ψn,n\psi_{n,n}. 2. Deciding if a graph GG has a subgraph isomorphic to HH reduces to optimization over ψn\psi_n. 3. Optimization over ψn\psi_n reduces to optimization over ψn,n\psi_{n,n}. In particular, this implies that the subgraph isomorphism problem reduces to optimization over ψn,n\psi_{n,n}.
