Abstract

We initiate the study of spectral generalizations of the graph isomorphism problem. (a) The Spectral Graph Dominance (SGD) problem: On input of two graphs G and H does there exist a permutation π such that G π(H)? (b) The Spectrally Robust Graph Isomorphism (κ-SRGI) problem: On input of two graphs G and H, find the smallest number κ over all permutations π such that π(H) G κcπ(H) for some c. SRGI is a natural formulation of the network alignment problem that has various applications, most notably in computational biology. G cH means that for all vectors x we have xTLGx ≤ cxTLHx, where LG is the Laplacian G. We prove NP-hardness for SGD. We also present a κ3-approximation algorithm for SRGI for the case when both G and H are bounded-degree trees. The algorithm runs in polynomial time when κ is a constant.
