Abstract

In his thesis [3] B. D. Thatte conjectured that ifG=G 1,G 2,...G n is a sequence of finitely many simple connected graphs (isomorphic graphs may occur in the sequence) with the same number of vertices and edges then their shuffled edge deck uniquely determines the graph sequence (up to a permutation). In this paper we prove that there are such sequences of graphs with the same shuffled edge deck.
