We show that the perfect matching problem in general graphs is in Quasi-NC. That is, we give a deterministic parallel algorithm which runs in $O(\log^3 n)$ time on $n^{O(\log^2 n)}$ processors. The result is obtained by a derandomization of…

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…

We give an isomorphism test for graphs of Euler genus $g$ running in time $2^{O(g^4 \log g)}n^{O(1)}$. Our algorithm provides the first explicit upper bound on the dependence on $g$ for an fpt isomorphism test parameterized by the Euler…

This paper presents a new graph isomorphism invariant, called $\mathfrak{w}$-labeling, that can be used to design a polynomial-time algorithm for solving the graph isomorphism problem for various graph classes. For example, all…

Given a graph $G$, the graph $[G]$ obtained by adding, for each pair of vertices of $G$, a unique vertex adjacent to both vertices is called the binding graph of $G$. In this work, we show that the class of binding graphs is…

The isomorphism problem for graphs (GI) and the isomorphism problem for groups (GrISO) have been studied extensively by researchers. The current best algorithms for both these problems run in quasipolynomial time. In this paper, we study…

The group isomorphism problem in computational complexity asks whether two finite groups given by their Cayley tables are isomorphic or not. Although polynomial-time isomorphism tests exist for many specific types of groups, no general…

Graph isomorphism problem is a known hard problem. In this paper, a novel randomized algorithm is proposed for this problem which is very simple and fast. It solves the graph isomorphism problem with running time O(n^2.373) for any pair of…

The Weisfeiler-Leman dimension of a graph $G$ is the least number $k$ such that the $k$-dimensional Weisfeiler-Leman algorithm distinguishes $G$ from every other non-isomorphic graph. The dimension is a standard measure of the descriptive…

The graph isomorphism problem asks whether two graphs are identical up to vertex relabeling. While the exact problem admits quasi-polynomial-time classical algorithms, many applications in molecular comparison, noisy network analysis, and…

The graph isomorphism problem is theoretically interesting and also has many practical applications. The best known classical algorithms for graph isomorphism all run in time super-polynomial in the size of the graph in the worst case. An…

We prove that isomorphism of tournaments of twin width at most $k$ can be decided in time $k^{O(\log k)}n^{O(1)}$. This implies that the isomorphism problem for classes of tournaments of bounded or moderately growing twin width is in…
