NP-hardness of a graph partition problem? - MathOverflow most recent 30 from http://mathoverflow.net2013-06-19T05:41:23Zhttp://mathoverflow.net/feeds/question/90123http://www.creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.5/rdfhttp://mathoverflow.net/questions/90123/np-hardness-of-a-graph-partition-problemNP-hardness of a graph partition problem?Mohammad Al-Turkistany2012-03-03T16:00:05Z2012-03-05T18:29:56Z
<p>I'm interested in this problem: Given an undirected graph $G(E, V)$, Is there a partition of $G$ into graphs $G_1(E_1, V_1)$ and $G_2(E_2, V_2)$ such that $G_1$ and $G_2$ are isomorphic? Here $E$ is partitioned into two disjoint sets $E_1$ and $E_2$. Sets $V_1$ and $V_2$ are not necessarily disjoint. $E1∪E2=E$ and $V1∪V2=V$.</p>
<p>This problem is at least as hard as Graph Isomorphism Problem. I guess it is harder than Graph Isomorphism but not NP-hard.</p>

<p>Is this partition problem $NP$-hard?</p>
