Title: Reconstructing a large subset of a point set in R from random sparse distance information
Abstract: Let V be a set of n points in R, and let \epsilon > 0 be a small enough fixed constant. Suppose the distances between each pair of points are revealed according to an Erdős–Rényi random graph G(n,(1+\epsilon)/n), meaning that the distance between any two points is revealed independently with probability p=(1+\epsilon)/n$. We show that, with high probability, this information is sufficient to reconstruct, up to isometry, a subset of V of size \Omega_{\epsilon}(n). This confirms a conjecture posed by Girao, Illingworth, Michel, Powierski, and Scott. Our approach involves proving certain structural properties of the 2-core of G(n,(1+\epsilon)/n), which can be of independent interest.
This work is joint with Julian Sahasrabudhe.
