Abstract

The operations of structural similarity on the objects with a factual basis presented as ordinary graphs are considered. Conditions are given under which such objects are similar, and a characterization of the set of graphs with isomorphic results of the similarity operation is presented. The proofs use the apparatus of the Galois correspondence associated with the graph.

Notes

  1. In studies of graph theory, any complete subgraph is often called a clique, but a clique is understood by us as a complete subgraph that is maximal with respect to inclusion.
