We show that for every infinite, rayless graph G the following holds. If G is hypomorphic to H then G is isomorphic to an induced subgraph of H and H is isomorphic to an induced subgraph of G. This proves a conjecture of R. Halin for the class of infinite, rayless graphs and partly extends a result
An edge-deleted subgraph of a graph G is a subgraph obtained from G by the deletion of an edge. The Edge Reconstruction Conjecture asserts that every simple finite graph with four or more edges is determined uniquely, up to isomorphism, by its collection of edge-deleted subgraphs. A class of graphs
## Abstract If a graph __G__ on __n__ vertices contains a Hamiltonian path, then __G__ is reconstructible from its edgeβdeleted subgraphs for __n__ sufficiently large.
The Edge Reconstruction Conjecture states that all graphs with at least four edges are determined by their edge-deleted subgraphs. We prove that this is true for claw-free graphs, those graphs with no induced subgraph isomorphic to K,,3. This includes line graphs as a special case.
