Abstract

The deck of a graph XX, D(X)D(X), is defined as the multiset of all vertex-deleted subgraphs of XX. Two graphs are said to be hypomorphic, if they have the same deck. Kelly-Ulam conjecture states that any two hypomorphic graphs on at least three vertices are isomorphic. In this paper, we first prove that for two finite simple hypomorphic graphs the number of ll-paths between two arbitrary vertices are equal, where 1ln21 \leq l \leq n - 2. As a consequence, it is proved that the Kelly-Ulam conjecture is correct over the category of all finite simple graphs.
