Combinatorial invariants for graph isomorphism problem

Published 22 Apr 2008 in cs.CC and cs.DS | (0804.3615v4)

Abstract: Presented approach in polynomial time calculates large number of invariants for each vertex, which won't change with graph isomorphism and should fully determine the graph. For example numbers of closed paths of length k for given starting vertex, what can be though as the diagonal terms of k-th power of the adjacency matrix. For k=2 we would get degree of verities invariant, higher describes local topology deeper. Now if two graphs are isomorphic, they have the same set of such vectors of invariants - we can sort theses vectors lexicographically and compare them. If they agree, permutations from sorting allow to reconstruct the isomorphism. I'm presenting arguments that these invariants should fully determine the graph, but unfortunately I can't prove it in this moment. This approach can give hope, that maybe P=NP - instead of checking all instances, we should make arithmetics on these large numbers.
