Abstract :
In this paper, by applying the discharging method, we give simple proofs that (1) every n-vertex graph with minimum degree at least 3 and girth at least 5 that is embeddable in a surface Σ of Euler characteristic at least −n/8 is edge-reconstructible, and (2) every n-vertex graph with minimum degree at least 4 that is embeddable without faces of length at most 3 in a surface Σ of Euler characteristic at least −n/6 is edge-reconstructible.
