The graph inference from a walk for a classCof undirected edge-colored graphs is, given a stringxof colors, finding the smallest graphGinCthat allows a traverse of all edges inGwhose sequence of edge-colors isx, called a walk forx. We prove that the graph inference from a walk for trees of bounded degreekis NP-complete for anyk⩾ 3, while the problem for trees without any degree bound constraint is known to be solvable inO(n) time, wherenis the length of the string. Furthermore, the problem for a special class of trees of bounded degree 3, called (1,1)-caterpillars, is shown to be NP-complete. This contrast with the case that the problem for linear chains is known to be solvable inO(nlogn) time since a (1,1)-caterpillar is obtained by attaching at most one hair of length one to each node of a linear chain. We also show the MAXSNP-hardness of these problems.
