In graph theory and theoretical computer science, a maximum common induced subgraph of two graphs G and H is a graph that is an induced subgraph of both G and H, and that has as many vertices as possible. Finding this graph is NP-hard. In the associated decision problem, the input is two graphs G and H and a number k.
In graph theory, the Weisfeiler Leman graph isomorphism test is a heuristic test for the existence of an isomorphism between two graphs G and H. [1] It is a generalization of the color refinement algorithm and has been first described by Weisfeiler and Leman in 1968. [ 2 ]
2. The Frucht graph, one of the two smallest cubic graphs with no nontrivial symmetries. 3. Frucht's theorem that every finite group is the group of symmetries of a finite graph. full Synonym for induced. functional graph A functional graph is a directed graph where every vertex has out-degree one. Equivalently, a functional graph is a maximal ...
While graph drawing and graph representation are valid topics in graph theory, in order to focus only on the abstract structure of graphs, a graph property is defined to be a property preserved under all possible isomorphisms of a graph. In other words, it is a property of the graph itself, not of a specific drawing or representation of the graph.
Subgraph isomorphism is a generalization of the graph isomorphism problem, which asks whether G is isomorphic to H: the answer to the graph isomorphism problem is true if and only if G and H both have the same numbers of vertices and edges and the subgraph isomorphism problem for G and H is true. However the complexity-theoretic status of graph ...
A connected graph G is planar if and only if it has an algebraic dual. The same fact can be expressed in the theory of matroids. If M is the graphic matroid of a graph G, then a graph G * is an algebraic dual of G if and only if the graphic matroid of G * is the dual matroid of M.
Many practical problems can be represented by graphs. Emphasizing their application to real-world systems, the term network is sometimes defined to mean a graph in which attributes (e.g. names) are associated with the vertices and edges, and the subject that expresses and understands real-world systems as a network is called network science.
A canonical form is a labeled graph Canon(G) that is isomorphic to G, such that every graph that is isomorphic to G has the same canonical form as G. Thus, from a solution to the graph canonization problem, one could also solve the problem of graph isomorphism: to test whether two graphs G and H are isomorphic, compute their canonical forms ...
