Abstract

In this paper, we present fixed-parameter tractability algorithms for both the undirected and directed versions of the Spanning Tree Isomorphism Problem, parameterized by the size kk of a redundant set. A redundant set is a collection of edges whose removal transforms the graph into a spanning tree. For the undirected version, our algorithm achieves a time complexity of O(n2logn2klogk)O(n^2 \log n \cdot 2^{k \log k}). For the directed version, we propose a more efficient algorithm with a time complexity of O(n224k3)O(n^2 \cdot 2^{4k-3}), where nn is the number of vertices.
