Seeded Graph Matching: Efficient Algorithms and Theoretical Guarantees
Farhad Shirani, Siddharth Garg, and Elza Erkip In this paper, a new information theoretic framework for graph matching is introduced. Using this framework, the graph isomorphism and seeded graph matching problems are studied. The maximum degree algorithm for graph isomorphism is analyzed and sufficient conditions for successful matching are rederived using type analysis. Furthermore, a...
