Switching {X,Y} in a graph. A two-graph is equivalent to a switching class of graphs and also to a (signed) switching class of signed complete graphs.. Switching a set of vertices in a (simple) graph means reversing the adjacencies of each pair of vertices, one in the set and the other not in the set: thus the edge set is changed so that an adjacent pair becomes nonadjacent and a nonadjacent ...
graph union: G 1 ∪ G 2. There are two definitions. In the most common one, the disjoint union of graphs, the union is assumed to be disjoint. Less commonly (though more consistent with the general definition of union in mathematics) the union of two graphs is defined as the graph (V 1 ∪ V 2, E 1 ∪ E 2). graph intersection: G 1 ∩ G 2 ...
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 ]
Two graphs that have the same deck are said to be hypomorphic. With these definitions, the conjecture can be stated as: Reconstruction Conjecture: Any two hypomorphic graphs on at least three vertices are isomorphic. (The requirement that the graphs have at least three vertices is necessary because both graphs on two vertices have the same decks.)
In general, a subdivision of a graph G (sometimes known as an expansion [2]) is a graph resulting from the subdivision of edges in G. The subdivision of some edge e with endpoints {u,v } yields a graph containing one new vertex w, and with an edge set replacing e by two new edges, {u,w } and {w,v }. For directed edges, this operation shall ...
A Cartesian product of two graphs. In graph theory, the Cartesian product G H of graphs G and H is a graph such that: the vertex set of G H is the Cartesian product V(G) × V(H); and; two vertices (u,v) and (u' ,v' ) are adjacent in G H if and only if either u = u' and v is adjacent to v' in H, or; v = v' and u is adjacent to u' in G.
An algebraic dual of a connected graph G is a graph G * such that G and G * have the same set of edges, any cycle of G is a cut of G *, and any cut of G is a cycle of G *. Every planar graph has an algebraic dual, which is in general not unique (any dual defined by a plane embedding will do).
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 ...
