public class VF2SubgraphIsomorphismInspector<V,E> extends VF2AbstractIsomorphismInspector<V,E>
This is an implementation of the VF2 algorithm using its feature of detecting subgraph isomorphism between two graphs as described in Cordella et al. A (sub)graph isomorphism algorithm for matching large graphs (2004), DOI:10.1109/TPAMI.2004.75, http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=1323804

Note that this inspector only finds isomorphisms between a smaller graph and all induced subgraphs of a larger graph. It does not find isomorphisms between the smaller graph and arbitrary subgraphs of the larger graph. For example, given as input the cubical graph $Q_{3}$ and the square graph, isomorphic mappings will be found between the square and the faces of the cube. However, given the complete graph $K_{5}$ and the square graph as input, no isomorphisms will be found since all induced subgraphs of a complete graph are themselves complete graphs.

Consequently, in the case where both input graphs have the same number of vertices, this algorithm is equivalent to running VF2GraphIsomorphismInspector.

This implementation of the VF2 algorithm does not support graphs with multiple (parallel) edges.
