The conjecture is known to hold for various special classes of graphs but remains wide open. We survey results on the more general conjecture by Kelly from 1957 that for every positive integer $\\ell$ there exists $M_\\ell$ (with $M_1=3$) such that when $n\\geq M_\\ell$ every $n$-vertex graph is determined by the multiset of its induced subgraphs with $n-\\ell$ vertices.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-04-12T02:35:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C60", "05C07" ], "keywords": [ "vertex graph", "induced subgraphs", "remains wide open", "reconstruction conjecture", "special classes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
