ISOMORPHISM OF GRAPHS

OBJECTIVES:
To determine if two graphs have the same structure
To know whether it is possible to draw two graphs
in the same way
WHAT IS ISOMORPHISM?
The simple graphs G1 = (V1,E1) and G2 = (V2,E2) are
isomorphic if there exists a one to one and onto
function f from V1 to V2 with the property that a and
b are adjacent in G1 if and only if f (a) and f (b) are
adjacent in G2, for all a and b in V1. Such a function f
is called an isomorphism.
STEPS TO DETERMINE
ISOMORPHISM:
We have to check if two graphs have :
 The same number of vertices
 The same number of edges
 The same degrees of vertices

isomorphic graphs
