NP-complete problems in graphs, such as enumeration and the selection of subgraphs with given characteristics, become especially relevant for large graphs and networks. Herein, particular statements with constraints are proposed to solve such problems, and subclasses of graphs are distinguished. We propose a class of prefractal graphs and review particular statements of NP-complete problems. As an example, algorithms for searching for spanning trees and packing bipartite graphs are proposed.

We propose to use the class of prefractal graphs as a tool for studying NP-complete problems and identifying conditions for their solvability. Using prefractal graphs for the modeling of large graphs and networks, it is possible to obtain approximate solutions, and some exact solutions, for problems on natural objects—social networks, transport networks, etc.
