ISOMORPHISM OF GRAPH



Two Graphs G1(V1,E1) and G2(V2,E2) are isomorphic if there is a bijective (one to one and onto) mapping f:V1 –> V2  that preserves adjacency that is a and b are adjacent in G1 if and only if f(a) and f(b) are adjacent in G2, for all a, b belongs to G1. Such a correspondence f is called graph isomorphism 





Theorem
           Two graphs are isomorphic, if and only if their vertices can be labelled in such a way that the corresponding adjacency matrices are equal.

Theorem:    
         Two labeled graphs G and G' with adjacency matrices A and A' respectively are isomorphic, if and if, there exists a permutation matrix   P such that PAPT =A'

Note:
    A matrix whose rows are the rows of the unit matrix, but not necessarily in their natural order, is called a permutation matrix.
