Is there an easy way to visually identify whether two trees are isomorphic?




http://crypto.cs.mcgill.ca/~crepeau/CS250/2004/HW5+.pdf




Informally, we say that two graphs are isomorphic if one can be transformed into the other
simply by renaming nodes.




I wonder if this informal definition is reliable for the formal as well though.




I also read a definition which said that the neighborhood nodes of the two graphs should equal. If two nodes are connected in the other, then they must be connected in the other as well.

  • What do you mean by "heuristically viewing"? Comparing drawings?

  • The degrees of the vertices have to match, so there should not be so many options. However, I think the question is too broad as such.

  • @paf Yeah comparing visualizations of the trees.

  • Not if the trees have $100$ vertices each.

  • Before trying to visualize it, I might suggest learning how to verify algorithmically whether two finite trees are isomorphic. The algorithm might then suggest a visualization to you.
