Abstract

The polynomial algorithms for isomorphism testing in 3-regular graphs known to date use set-wise stabilisation in 2-groups acting on singletons, pairs, and sometimes triples of vertices. In this note we describe a new, simpler way of “getting rid of the triples”. Although the order of the complexity of isomorphism testing remains O(n3logn), the resulting algorithm is more efficient, since this portion of the set-wise stabilisation in the algorithm will be faster.
