description

Finding the maximum common subgraph of a pair of given graphs is a well-known task in theoretical computer science and with considerable practical applications, for example, in the fields of bioinformatics, medicine, chemistry, electronic design and computer vision. This problem is particularly complex and therefore fast heuristics are required to calculate approximate solutions. This article deals with a simple yet effective genetic algorithm that finds quickly a solution, subject to possible geometric constraints.
