DRESS: A Continuous Framework for Structural Graph Refinement E. Castrillo. arXiv preprint, 2026. arXiv:2602.20833

DRESS and the WL Hierarchy: Climbing One Deletion at a Time E. Castrillo. Preprint, 2026. vertex-k-DRESS.pdf

Proves unconditionally that Δᵏ-DRESS distinguishes every CFI(K_{k+3}) pair for all k ≥ 0 (CFI Staircase Theorem), via the CFI Deck Separation theorem and Virtual Pebble Lemma. Also proves Δᵏ-DRESS ≥ (k+2)-WL for all graphs conditional on the WL-Deck Separation Conjecture.

Breaking Hard Isomorphism Benchmarks with DRESS E. Castrillo. Preprint, 2026. delta1-dress-hard-families.pdf

Empirical evaluation of Δ¹-DRESS on 51,816 graphs across 34 hard benchmark families (16 SRG families + 18 constructed), achieving 100% separation and resolving over 576 million non-isomorphic pairs. Establishes that Δ¹-DRESS strictly exceeds 3-WL.
