New binary linear programming formulation to compute the graph edit distance

作者:

Highlights:

• A binary linear programming formulation for computing the exact graph edit distance is proposed.

• A lower bound is derived from the formulation through a continuous relaxation.

• Comparison with 6 exact and approximate state-of-the-art algorithms is achieved.

• Generally speaking, our formulations were the most precise ones.

• Our formulation converged faster to optimality under a time constraint.
