Abstract

In this paper, we study the Graph Isomorphism problem on graphs of bounded treewidth, bounded degree or bounded bandwidth. There are O(n c) algorithms which solve Graph Isomorphism on graphs which have a bound on the treewidth, degree or bandwidth, but the exponent c depends on this bound, where n is the number of vertices in input graphs. We introduce some new graph parameters: the (rooted) path distance width, which is a restriction of bandwidth, and the (rooted) tree distance width, which is a restriction of treewidth. We give algorithms that solve Graph Isomorphism in O(n 2) time for graphs with bounded rooted path distance width, and in O(n 3) time for graphs with bounded rooted tree distance width. Additionally, we show that computing the path distance width of a graph is a NP-complete problem even if the input graphs are restricted to the class of trees. Moreover we show that the rooted path or tree distance width can be computed in O(ne) time and both path and tree distance width can be computed in O(n k+1) time, when they are bounded by a constant k, where e is the number of edges in input graphs. Finally, we study the relationships between the newly introduced parameters and other existing graph parameters.
