Efficient random graph matching via degree profiles
Random graph matching refers to recovering the underlying vertex correspondence between two random graphs with correlated edges; a prominent example is when the two random graphs are given by Erdős-Rényi graphs G ( n , d n ) . This can be viewed as an average-case and noisy version of the graph isom...
