Two of the most fundamental distributed symmetry-breaking problems are that of finding a maximal independent set (MIS) and a maximal matching (MM) in a graph. It is a major open question whether these problems can be solved in constant…

The Subgraph Matching (SM) problem consists of finding all the embeddings of a given small graph, called the query, into a large graph, called the target. The SM problem has been widely studied for simple graphs, i.e. graphs where there is…

We develop an experimental algorithm for the exact solving of the maximum independent set problem. The algorithm consecutively finds the maximal independent sets of vertices in an arbitrary undirected graph such that the next such set…
