This paper presents the novel `uniqueness tree' algorithm, as one possible method for determining whether two finite, undirected graphs are isomorphic. We prove that the algorithm has polynomial time complexity in the worst case, and that…

We give an isomorphism test that runs in time $n^{\operatorname{polylog}(h)}$ on all $n$-vertex graphs excluding some $h$-vertex vertex graph as a topological subgraph. Previous results state that isomorphism for such graphs can be tested…

In this paper we compare and illustrate the algorithmic use of graphs of bounded tree-width and graphs of bounded clique-width. For this purpose we give polynomial time algorithms for computing the four basic graph parameters independence…

We prove that every triconnected planar graph is definable by a first order sentence that uses at most 15 variables and has quantifier depth at most $11\log_2 n+43$. As a consequence, a canonic form of such graphs is computable in $AC^1$ by…

We show that a simple Markov chain, the Glauber dynamics, can efficiently sample independent sets almost uniformly at random in polynomial time for graphs in a certain class. The class is determined by boundedness of a new graph parameter…

The Graph Isomorphism problem has both theoretical and practical interest. In this paper we present an algorithm, called conauto-1.2, that efficiently tests whether two graphs are isomorphic, and finds an isomorphism if they are. This…

We study the complexity of testing if two given matroids are isomorphic. The problem is easily seen to be in $\Sigma_2^p$. In the case of linear matroids, which are represented over polynomially growing fields, we note that the problem is…

In a recent breakthrough, Babai (STOC 2016) gave a quasipolynomial time graph isomorphism test. In this work, we give an improved isomorphism test for graphs of small degree: our algorithms runs in time $n^{O((\log d)^{c})}$, where $n$ is…

Graph isomorphism is an important computer science problem. The problem for the general case is unknown to be in polynomial time. The base algorithm for the general case works in quasi-polynomial time. The solutions in polynomial time for…

Rank-width is a width parameter of graphs describing whether it is possible to decompose a graph into a tree-like structure by `simple' cuts. This survey aims to summarize known algorithmic and structural results on rank-width of graphs.

Fixed parameter tractable (FPT) algorithms run in time f(p(x)) poly(|x|), where f is an arbitrary function of some parameter p of the input x and poly is some polynomial function. Treewidth, branchwidth, cliquewidth, NLC-width, rankwidth,…

We investigate algorithms for canonical labelling of site graphs, i.e. graphs in which edges bind vertices on sites with locally unique names. We first show that the problem of canonical labelling of site graphs reduces to the problem of…

We define a range of new coarse geometric invariants based on various graph-theoretic measures of complexity for finite graphs, including: treewidth, pathwidth, cutwidth and bandwidth. We prove that, for bounded degree graphs, these…

We provide a criterion to distinguish two graphs which are indistinguishable by $2$-dimensional Weisfeiler-Lehman algorithm for almost all graphs. Haemers conjectured that almost all graphs are identified by their spectrum. Our approach…

Two graphs $G$ and $H$ are homomorphism indistinguishable over a graph class $\mathcal{F}$ if they admit the same number of homomorphisms from every graph $F \in \mathcal{F}$. Many graph isomorphism relaxations such as (quantum) isomorphism…
