%0 Journal Article %T On the reconstraction of the matching polynomial and the reconstruction conjecture %A E. J. Farrell %A S. A. Wahid %J International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences %D 1987 %I Hindawi Publishing Corporation %R 10.1155/s016117128700019x %X Two results are proved. (i) It is shown that the matching polynomial is both node and edge reconstructable. Moreover a practical method of reconstruction is given. (ii) A technique is given for reconstructing a graph from its node-deleted and edge-deleted subgraphs. This settles one part of the Reconstruction Conjecture. %K matching %K perfect matching %K matching polynomial %K matching matrix %K reconstruction conjecture %K edge reconstruction %K node reconstruction. %U http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/S016117128700019X
