Computing canonical images in permutation groups with Graph Backtracking
Abstract
We describe a new algorithm for finding a canonical image of an object under the action of a finite permutation group. This algorithm builds on previous work using Graph Backtracking, which extends Jeffrey Leon's Partition Backtrack framework. Our methods generalise both Nauty and Steve Linton's Minimal image algorithm.
