Description
Summary:The problem of graph reconstruction has been studied in its various forms over the years. In particular, the Reconstruction Conjecture, proposed by Ulam and Kelly in 1942, has attracted much research attention and yet remains one of the foremost unsolved problems in graph theory. Recently, Bastide, Cook, Erickson, Groenland, Kreveld, Mannens, and Vermeulen proposed a new model of partial information, where we are given the set of connected triples T_3, which is the set of 3-subsets of the vertex set that induce connected subgraphs. They proved that reconstruction is unique within the class of triangle-free graphs, 2-connected outerplanar graphs, and maximal planar graphs. They also showed that almost every graph can be uniquely reconstructed from their connected triples. However, little is known about other classes of non-triangle-free graphs within which reconstruction can occur uniquely, nor do we understand what kind of graphs can be uniquely reconstructed from their connected triples without assuming ...
