Fixed-parameter tractable canonization and isomorphism test for graphs of bounded treewidth
Abstract
We give a fixed-parameter tractable algorithm that, given a parameter and two graphs , either concludes that one of these graphs has treewidth at least , or determines whether and are isomorphic. The running time of the algorithm on an -vertex graph is , and this is the first fixed-parameter algorithm for Graph Isomorphism parameterized by treewidth. Our algorithm in fact solves the more general canonization problem. We namely design a procedure working in time that, for a given graph on vertices, either concludes that the treewidth of is at least , or: * finds in an isomorphic-invariant way a graph that is isomorphic to ; * finds an isomorphism-invariant construction term --- an algebraic expression that encodes together with a tree decomposition of of width . Hence, the isomorphism test reduces to verifying whether the computed isomorphic copies or the construction terms for and are equal.
