Table 1. Notation.

H = (V, E) host graph within which we count the graphlets and orbits
n number of nodes of H; n = |V|
e number of H’s edges; e = |E|
d(v) degree of node v
d maximal node degree in H; d = maxvV d(v)
N(v) set of neighbours of vertex vV
N(v1, v2, …, vj) set of common neighbours of v1, v2, …, vj; N(v1, v2, …, vj) = N(v1)∩N(v2)∩…∩N(vj)
N(S) common neighbours of nodes in the set SV; N(S)=vSN(v)
c(v), c(v1, v2, …, vj), c(S) number of common neighbours of vertex v, of vertices v1, v2, …, vj, and of vertices from set S, respectively; that is, c(v) = |N(v)|, c(v1, v2, …, vj) = |N(v1, v2, …, vj)|, c(S)=|N(S)|
Gk set of all graphlets with k nodes
Ga graphlet a, according to some enumeration
Oi orbit i, according to some enumeration
oi(v), oi the number of times the node v appears in an induced subgraph in orbit i; since v will be obvious, we will use the shorter notation oi
m(i) index of the graphlet containing the orbit Oi, e.g. m(16) = 9
