contents Consider two planar graphs which are subject to edge insertions and deletions. We show that whether the two graphs are isomorphic can be maintained with first-order logic formulas and auxiliary data of polynomial size. This places the dynamic planar graph isomorphism problem into the dynamic descriptive complexity class DynFO. As a consequence, there is a dynamic constant-time parallel algorithm with polynomial-size auxiliary data which maintains whether two dynamic planar graphs are isomorphic.
