Amenable Graph


An amenable graph, also called an identified graph (Kiefer et al. 2015), is a finite graph G for which color refinement distinguishes G from every nonisomorphic graph H (Arvind et al. 2017).

Equivalently, G is amenable iff its Weisfeiler-Leman dimension is 1, since color refinement is the one-dimensional Weisfeiler-Leman algorithm. Arvind et al. (2017) characterized amenable graphs and showed that the class can be recognized in time O((n+m)lnn) for a graph with n vertices and m edges.
