Title
Tight Bounds on the Asymptotic Descriptive Complexity of Subgraph Isomorphism.
Abstract
Let v(F) denote the number of vertices in a fixed connected pattern graph F. We show an infinite family of patterns F such that the existence of a subgraph isomorphic to F is expressible by a first-order sentence of quantifier depth 2/3 v(F) + 1, assuming that the host graph is sufficiently large and connected. However, this is impossible for any F using less than 2/3 v(F) - 2 first-order variables.
