vf2
— VF2 subgraph isomorphism algorithm in Rust
This crate implements the VF2 subgraph isomorphism algorithm [1]. It can find graph isomorphisms, subgraph isomorphisms, and induced subgraph isomorphisms. Graphs can be directed or undirected.
Features
- Enumerate graph isomorphisms
- Enumerate subgraph isomorphisms
- Enumerate induced subgraph isomorphisms
- Support directed graphs
- Support undirected graphs
- Support disconnected graphs
- Support node labels
- Support edge labels
- Graph trait
What is subgraph isomorphism?
A graph is a structure consisting of a set of objects where some pairs of objects are connected. A graph isomorphism is a one-to-one correspondence between two graphs such that objects connected in one are also connected in the other.
Graph isomorphism
For two graphs to be isomorphic, there must be a one-to-one correspondence between nodes such that neighbors in one are also neighbors in the other. The query and data graphs in the following image are isomorphic.
Subgraph isomorphism
It is often desirable to find instances of one graph within another. To do this, we search for subgraph isomorphisms. A subgraph isomorphism is when one graph is isomorphic to a subgraph of another. There are two subgraph isomorphisms in the following image.
Induced subgraph isomorphism
An induced subgraph isomorphism is the same as a subgraph isomorphism except that the subgraph must be induced. Edges in the data subgraph must also exist in the query graph.
Remaining work
- Implement VF2 cutting rules
- Implement VF2++ (only VF2 implemented so far)
