Optimally reconstructing caterpillars

Abstract

For a graph G, the -deck of G is the multiset of induced subgraphs on G having 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 caterpillar graphs, we show that the (1/2+o(1))n-deck suffices, which is asymptotically tight.
