Abstract

A modified kk-deck of a graph GG is obtained by removing kk edges of GG in all possible ways, and adding kk (not necessarily new) edges in all possible ways. Krasikov and Roditty asked if it was possible to construct the usual kk-edge deck of a graph from its modified kk-deck. Earlier I solved this problem for the case when k=1k=1. In this paper, the problem is completely solved for arbitrary kk. The proof makes use of the kk-edge version of Lov\'asz's result and the eigenvalues of certain matrix related to the Johnson graph. This version differs from the published version. Lemma 2.3 in the published version had a typo in one equation. Also, a long manipulation of some combinatorial expressions was skipped in the original proof of Lemma 2.3, which made it difficult to follow the proof. Here a clearer proof is given.
