Abstract

We resolve the computational complexity of GRAPH ISOMORPHISM for classes of graphs characterized by two forbidden induced subgraphs H_{1} and H_2 for all but six pairs (H_1,H_2). Schweitzer had previously shown that the number of open cases was finite, but without specifying the open cases. Grohe and Schweitzer proved that GRAPH ISOMORPHISM is polynomial-time solvable on graph classes of bounded clique-width. Our work combines known results such as these with new results. By exploiting a relationship between GRAPH ISOMORPHISM and clique-width, we simultaneously reduce the number of open cases for boundedness of clique-width for (H_1,H_2)-free graphs to five.
