Abstract

The Reconstruction Conjecture is one of the most engaging problems under the domain of Graph Theory. The conjecture proposes that every graph with at least three vertices can be uniquely reconstructed given the multiset of subgraphs produced by deleting each vertex of the original graph one by one. This conjecture has been proven true for several infinite classes of graphs, but the general case remains unsolved. In this paper we will outline the problem and give a practical method for reconstructing a graph from its node-deleted.
