It's important to design polynomial time algorithms to test if two graphs are isomorphic at least for some special classes of graphs. An approach to this was presented by Eugene M. Luks(1981) in the work \textit{Isomorphism of Graphs of…

We investigate the power of graph isomorphism algorithms based on algebraic reasoning techniques like Gr\"obner basis computation. The idea of these algorithms is to encode two graphs into a system of equations that are satisfiable if and…

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…

This paper is our second step towards developing a theory of testing monomials in multivariate polynomials. The central question is to ask whether a polynomial represented by an arithmetic circuit has some types of monomials in its…

It is unknown whether two graphs can be tested for isomorphism in polynomial time. A classical approach to the Graph Isomorphism Problem is the d-dimensional Weisfeiler-Lehman algorithm. The d-dimensional WL-algorithm can distinguish many…

An explicit algorithm is presented for testing whether two non-directed graphs are isomorphic or not. It is shown that for a graph of n vertices, the number of n independent operations needed for the test is polynomial in n. A proof that…

To determine if two lists of numbers are the same set, we sort both lists and see if we get the same result. The sorted list is a canonical form for the equivalence relation of set equality. Other canonical forms arise in graph isomorphism…

As it follows from G\"odel's incompleteness theorems, any consistent formal system of axioms and rules of inference should imply a true unprovable statement. Actually, this fundamental principle can be efficiently applicable in…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field. Given two irreducible polynomials $f,g$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$, with $\mathrm{deg} f$ dividing $\mathrm{deg} g$, the finite field embedding problem asks to compute an explicit description of a field…

We give an algorithm that, for every fixed k, decides isomorphism of graphs of rank width at most k in polynomial time. As the clique width of a graph is bounded in terms of its rank width, we also obtain a polynomial time isomorphism test…
