While P is contained in NP, I don't think that's the NP you mean. I suspect you may be thinking of subgraph isomorphism, which is NP-hard. Graph isomorphism may be quasi-polynomial time, if Babai's (unpublished) claim is correct. Also, "Isomorphism of graphs of bounded valence can be tested in polynomial time" - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0022000082900095 . > So here is my question.
