This paper deals with the problem ofgraph matchingornetwork alignmentfor Erdős–Rényi graphs, which can be viewed as a noisy average-case version of the graph isomorphism problem. LetGandbeG(n,p) Erdős–Rényi graphs marginally, identified with their adjacency matrices. Assume thatGandare correlated such that. For a permutationrepresenting a latent matching between the vertices ofGand, denote bythe graph obtained from permuting the vertices ofGby. Observingand, we aim to recover the matching. In this work, we show that for every, there isdepending onand absolute constantswith the following property. Let,, and. There is a polynomial-time algorithmFsuch that. This is the first polynomial-time algorithm that recovers theexact matchingbetween vertices of correlated Erdős–Rényi graphs withconstant correlationwith high probability. The algorithm is based on comparison ofpartition treesassociated with the graph vertices.
