报告摘要:For two independent Erdős-Rényi graphs G(n,p), we study the maximal overlap, i.e. the maximal number of common edges over all possible vertex correspondenceπ∈S_n. We consider the problem in two parameter regimes of p=n^(-α+o(1)): the sparse regime (1/2<α<1) and the dense regime (0<α<1/2). We prove that in the sparse regime, there exists a polynomial-time algorithm which finds the maximal overlap up to a multiplicative factor which is arbitrarily close to 1. As a by-product, we show that the maximal overlap is asymptotically n/(2α-1) in the sparse regime. For the dense regime, we establish an exact algorithmic phase transition via the branching overlap gap property. This talk is based on joint works with Jian Ding(PKU), Hang Du(MIT) and Rundong Huang(PKU).
