Graph matching aims to find correspondences between two graphs. It is a fundamental task in pattern recognition. The classical spectral matching algorithm has time complexity 𝒪(n⁴) and space complexity 𝒪(n⁴), where n is the number of nodes. Such a complexity limits the applicability to large-scale graph matching tasks. This paper proposes an efficient redesign of spectral matching by transforming the graph matching problem into a 1D linear assignment problem, which can be solved efficiently by sorting two n ×1 vectors. The resulting algorithm is named the lightning spectral assignment method (LiSA), which enjoys a complexity of 𝒪(n²). Numerical experiments demonstrate the efficiency and the theoretical analysis of the strategy.
