Reconstructing colored graphs

Joseph M. Weinstein

Vol. 57 (1975), No. 1, 307–314
Abstract

A colored graph G is a graph with given “coloring” (i.e., function) defined on the nodes and edges. A colored-graph isomorphism is a graph isomorphism which preserves color values. G is reconstructible if G is isomorphic with H whenever H is a colored graph with the same nodes as G and with H x isomorphic with G x for each node x. In this paper known reconstruction methods and results are generalized to colored graphs. A “colored” approach is used to give a simple proof of a recent black-and-white” result: a block G is reconstructible if G has a node z with G z a tree. New “colored” concepts and methods are used to deduce such results as the following: a colored graph G is reconstructible if each color appears on at most three nodes.
