Abstract
The $m$-multideck of a graph is the multiset of the isomorphism classes of all its unlabeled induced subgraphs on $m$ vertices. A graph $G$ is reconstructible from its $m$-multideck if any graph with the same $m$-multideck is isomorphic to $G$. Reconstructibility of an $n$-vertex graph $G$ from its $(n-l)$-multideck is known as $l$-reconstructibility of $G$. In this talk, we will first discuss some knowledge on this graph reconstructibility. Since general trees are known to be $1$-reconstructible, we will conclude the talk with a new development concerning decks (sets) and multidecks of phylogenetic tree shapes (rooted binary trees) comprising only subtrees induced by leaves.
Speaker Intro
Audace Dossou-Olory is currently a senior lecturer of Mathematics and Hydroinformatics at the University of Abomey-Calavi in Benin. His main research interests lie in Discrete Mathematics (Combinatorics, Graph Theory). Dossou-Olory served as a Research Fellow at the University of Johannesburg (South Africa), following both a PhD in Discrete Mathematics and an MSc in Mathematical Sciences obtained at Stellenbosch University and AIMS (South Africa). Dossou-Olory completed his undergraduate studies in Benin, with both a Design Electrical Engineering Diploma at the École Polytechnique d'Abomey-Calavi and a Maitrise in Mathematics (Benin). He is one of the two winners of the Ibni Prize 2020.
