Abstract
In the graph shotgun assembly problem, we are given the balls of radius around each vertex of a graph and asked to reconstruct the graph. We study the shotgun assembly of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph for a wide range of values of . We determine the threshold for reconstructibility for each , extending and improving substantially on results of Mossel and Ross for . For , we give upper and lower bounds that improve on results of Gaudio and Mossel by polynomial factors. We also give a sharpening of a result of Huang and Tikhomirov for .
