## Count the isomorphic mappings between a graph and the subgraphs of another graph

### Description

Count the isomorphic mappings between a graph and the subgraphs of another graph

### Usage

    count_subgraph_isomorphisms(pattern, target, method = c("lad", "vf2"), ...)

### Arguments

`pattern` | The smaller graph, it might be directed or undirected. Undirected graphs are treated as directed graphs with mutual edges.
`target` | The bigger graph, it might be directed or undirected. Undirected graphs are treated as directed graphs with mutual edges.
`method` | The method to use. Possible values: ‘lad’, ‘vf2’. See their details below.
`...` | Additional arguments, passed to the various methods.

### Value

Logical scalar, `TRUE` if the `pattern` is isomorphic to a (possibly induced) subgraph of `target`.

### ‘lad’ method

This is the LAD algorithm by Solnon, see the reference below. It has the following extra arguments:

domains

  If not `NULL`, then it specifies matching restrictions. It must be a list of `target` vertex sets, given as numeric vertex ids or symbolic vertex names. The length of the list must be `vcount(pattern)` and for each vertex in `pattern` it gives the allowed matching vertices in `target`. Defaults to `NULL`.

induced

  Logical scalar, whether to search for an induced subgraph. It is `FALSE` by default.

time.limit

  The processor time limit for the computation, in seconds. It defaults to `Inf`, which means no limit.

### ‘vf2’ method

This method uses the VF2 algorithm by Cordella, Foggia et al., see references below. It supports vertex and edge colors and have the following extra arguments:

vertex.color1, vertex.color2

  Optional integer vectors giving the colors of the vertices for colored graph isomorphism. If they are not given, but the graph has a “color” vertex attribute, then it will be used. If you want to ignore these attributes, then supply `NULL` for both of these arguments. See also examples below.

edge.color1, edge.color2

  Optional integer vectors giving the colors of the edges for edge-colored (sub)graph isomorphism. If they are not given, but the graph has a “color” edge attribute, then it will be used. If you want to ignore these attributes, then supply `NULL` for both of these arguments.
