Algorithmic questions concerning isomorphism testing. A prime example is the graph isomorphism problem, which is to decide if two input graphs are isomorphic. This tag may also be used for isomorphism testing between other objects (such as groups).

Group acting on two different sets, can isomorphisms be computed efficiently?

I'm still not sure in what form your input is given. I'll assume you have permutations $\lbrace g_1,\ldots,g_k\rbrace$ generating $G$, and permutations $\lbrace h_1,\ldots,h_k\rbrace$ generating $H$, …

Why is graph automorphism sometimes easier than canonical labeling (for current software)?

This is not a simple question. One thing to know about the pictures above is that the Miyazaki graphs are hard for nauty because Miyazaki studied how nauty operates and designed the graphs to be as ha …

A possible GI isomorphic problem

It is GI-complete. Take two arbitrary connected graphs with degrees at least 2 (obviously a GI-complete class). For each vertex $v$, add a new vertex $v'$ and join it only to $v$. The pairs $\{v,v'\ …

Weisfeiler-Lehman test for hypergraphs

You can represent a hypergraph by its vertex-edge incidence graph and apply W-L to that.

Canonical form for a bipartite graph

Since you seem to be asking about how to compute it, I'll answer that. With nauty, bliss, Traces, etc, you can specify vertex colours then the canonical form won't mix the colours up. Just use one c …

Non-isomorphic walk-regular graphs with the same number of closed walks at any length

You are asking for two non-isomorphic cospectral walk-regular graphs, presumably not vertex-transitive. The following two are examples. They are bipartite and 4-regular on 18 vertices. Both of them ha …

Automorphism group of directed complete graph

I'm guessing that by "directed complete graph" you want each edge directed in exactly one of the two possible ways. If so, you have a tournament. Automorphism and isomorphism for tournaments is pote …

Linear algebra formulation for colored node graph isomorphism

It is equivalent (up to polynomials). Given a coloured graph $G_1$, add a new node (a colour vertex) for each colour and add edges from it to all vertices with that colour. Next add one more new node …

Determining graph Isomorphism: combining invariants

There will be strongly-regular graphs of the same parameters with equal values of all those invariants. Since the parameters determine the eigenvalues, all the invariants determined by the spectrum (s …

Isomorphism problem on the class of induced subgraphs of a hypercube

For the "relaxation" to embedding-preserving isomorphisms, note that the $n$-cube has only $2^n n!$ symmetries, so you can try them all in $2^{2n} n!$ time or a little less. That's a lot if only a sm …

Algorithm to determine isomorphism of 2 maximal planar graphs

You didn't say whether your interest is theoretical or practical. If it is theoretical, note that maximal planar graphs can be tested in linear time. See the paper of Hopcroft and Wong mentioned in t …

Isomorphism testing in STS(13)

Take the 26-vertex graphs whose vertices are the blocks and where two vertices are joined by an edge if the corresponding blocks have a vertex in common. These two graphs differ in many easily measur …

Relation graph isomorphism to discrete logarithm

This is more of a comment than a new answer because it uses no more technique than Joseph's answer. The expression of the problem in terms of graphs or 0-1 matrices is a red herring and I suggest a mo …
