Abstract

Given a graph GG, the graph [G][G] obtained by adding, for each pair of vertices of GG, a unique vertex adjacent to both vertices is called the binding graph of GG. In this work, we show that the class of binding graphs is graph-isomorphism complete and that the stable partitions of binding graphs by the Weisfeiler-Lehman (WL) algorithm produce automorphism partitions. To test the isomorphism of two graphs GG and HH, one computes the stable graph of the binding graph [GH][G\uplus H] for the disjoint union graph GHG\uplus H. The automorphism partition reveals the isomorphism of GG and HH. Because the WL algorithm is a polynomial-time procedure, the claim can be made that the graph-isomorphism problem is in complexity class P\mathtt{P}.

A counter example was found and hence the claim is false in the manuscript
