An oracle can tell you \, given two\nvertices\, what the distance is between these vertices in th e graph.\n(For example\, in a computer network\, this would represent the minimum\nnumber of communication links needed to send a message from one\n computer to another.) Based on the answer\, you may select the next\nquery . The (labelled) graph is reconstructed when there is a single\nedge set c ompatible with the answers. How many queries are needed\, in\nthe worst ca se? The question becomes interesting for bounded degree\ngraphs. We provid e tight bounds for various classes of graphs\,\nimproving both the lower a nd upper bound\, in both the randomized and\ndeterministic setting. \n DTSTAMP:20250516T165957Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
