The $(n-\ell)$-deck of an $n$-vertex graph is the multiset of (unlabeled) subgraphs obtained from it by deleting $\ell$ vertices. An $n$-vertex graph is $\ell$-reconstructible if it is determined by its $(n-\ell)$-deck, meaning that no…

For a graph $G$, the $\ell$-deck of $G$ is the multiset of induced subgraphs on $G$ having $\ell$ vertices. Recently, Groenland et al. proved that any tree can be reconstructed from its $(8/9+o(1))n$-deck. For the particular case of…

The Reconstruction Conjecture of Kelly and Ulam states that any graph $G$ with $n\geq 3$ vertices can be reconstructed from the multiset $\mathcal{D}(G)$ of unlabelled subgraphs $G-v$ for all $v\in V(G)$. We refer to $\mathcal{D}(G)$ as the…

A graph is $\ell$-reconstructible if it is determined by its multiset of induced subgraphs obtained by deleting $\ell$ vertices. We prove that strongly regular graphs with at least six vertices are $2$-reconstructible.

The $k$-deck of a graph is the multiset of its subgraphs induced by $k$ vertices. A graph or graph property is $l$-reconstructible if it is determined by the deck of subgraphs obtained by deleting $l$ vertices. We show that the degree list…

The $\textit{$m$-deck}$ of an $n$-vertex graph is the multiset of unlabeled induced subgraphs with $m$ vertices. Caterpillars are trees in which all nonleaf vertices lie on a single path. We prove for $n\ge48$ that any $n$-vertex…

The $(n-\ell)$-deck of an $n$-vertex graph is the multiset of subgraphs obtained from it by deleting $\ell$ vertices. A family of $n$-vertex graphs is $\ell$-recognizable if every graph having the same $(n-\ell)$-deck as a graph in the…

The Reconstruction Conjecture of Ulam asserts that, for $n\geq 3$, every $n$-vertex graph is determined by the multiset of its induced subgraphs with $n-1$ vertices. The conjecture is known to hold for various special classes of graphs but…

A graph is $\ell$-reconstructible if it is determined by its multiset of induced subgraphs obtained by deleting $\ell$ vertices. We prove that $3$-regular graphs are $2$-reconstructible.

The $k$-deck of a graph is its multiset of induced subgraphs on $k$ vertices. We prove that $n$-vertex graphs with maximum degree $2$ have the same $k$-decks if each cycle has at least $k+1$ vertices, each path component has at least $k-1$…

The graph reconstruction conjecture states that all graphs on at least three vertices are determined up to isomorphism by their deck. In this paper, a general framework for this problem is proposed to simply explain the reconstruction of…

Kelly's lemma is a basic result on graph reconstruction. It states that given the deck of a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices, and a graph $F$ on fewer than $n$ vertices, we can count the number of subgraphs of $G$ that are isomorphic to $F$.…

Graphlets are subgraphs rooted at a fixed vertex. The number of occurrences of graphlets aligned to a particular vertex, called graphlet degree sequence (gds), gives a topological description of the surrounding of the analyzed vertex.…

The deck of a graph $G$ is the multiset of cards $\{G-v:v\in V(G)\}$. Myrvold (1992) showed that the degree sequence of a graph on $n\geq7$ vertices can be reconstructed from any deck missing one card. We prove that the degree sequence of a…

Given a graph $G$, the Bell $k$-coloring graph $\mathcal{B}_k(G)$ has vertices given by partitions of $V(G)$ into $k$ independent sets (allowing empty parts), with two partitions adjacent if they differ only in the placement of a single…

The deck of a graph $G$ is given by the multiset of (unlabelled) subgraphs $\{G-v:v\in V(G)\}$. The subgraphs $G-v$ are referred to as the cards of $G$. Brown and Fenner recently showed that, for $n\geq29$, the number of edges of a graph…

For a given graph, the unlabeled subgraphs $G-v$ are called the cards of $G$ and the deck of $G$ is the multiset $\{G-v: v \in V(G)\}$. Wendy Myrvold [Ars Combinatoria, 1989] showed that a non-connected graph and a connected graph both on…
