An active area of research in computational science is the design of algorithms for solving the subgraph matching problem to find copies of a given template graph in a larger world graph. Prior works have largely addressed single-channel networks using a variety of approaches. We present a suite of filtering methods for subgraph isomorphisms for multiplex networks (with different types of edges between nodes and more than one edge within each channel type). We aim to understand the entire solution space rather than focusing on finding one isomorphism. Results are shown on several classes of datasets: (a) Sudoku puzzles mapped to the subgraph isomorphism problem, (b) ErdsRnyi multigraphs, (c) real-world datasets from Twitter and transportation networks, (d) synthetic data created for the DARPA MAA program. 

Abstract The Randomized Kaczmarz method (RK) is a stochastic iterative method for solving linear systems that has recently grown in popularity due to its speed and low memory requirement. Selectable Set Randomized Kaczmarz is a variant of RK that leverages existing information about the Kaczmarz iterate to identify an adaptive “selectable set” and thus yields an improved convergence guarantee. In this article, we propose a general perspective for selectable set approaches and prove a convergence result for that framework. In addition, we define two specific selectable set sampling strategies that have competitive convergence guarantees to those of other variants of RK. One selectable set sampling strategy leverages information about the previous iterate, while the other leverages the orthogonality structure of the problem via the Gramian matrix. We complement our theoretical results with numerical experiments that compare our proposed rules with those existing in the literature.
