Krasikov and Roditty asked if it was possible to construct the usual $k$-edge deck of a graph from its modified $k$-deck. Earlier I solved this problem for the case when $k=1$. In this paper, the problem is completely solved for arbitrary $k$. The proof makes use of the $k$-edge version of Lov\\'asz's result and the eigenvalues of certain matrix related to the Johnson graph. This version differs from the published version. Lemma 2.3 in the published version had a typo in one equation. Also, a long manipulation of some combinatorial expressions was skipped in the original proof of Lemma 2.3, which made it difficult to follow the proof. Here a clearer proof is given.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-12-06T08:38:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C60" ], "keywords": [ "reconstruction problem", "general case", "balance equations-ii", "published version", "clearer proof" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005math.....12120T" } } }
