Abstract

Given a pattern graph H of fixed size, and a host graph G guaranteed to contain at most one occurrence of a subgraph isomorphic to H, we show that both the problem of finding such an occurrence (if any) as well as the decision version of the problem are as hard as in the general case when G may contain several occurrences of H.
