contents We address the inverse problem of reconstructing both the structure and dynamics of a network from mean-field measurements, which are linear combinations of node states. This setting arises in applications where only a few aggregated observations are available, making network inference challenging. We focus on the case when the number of mean-field measurements is smaller than the number of nodes. To tackle this ill-posed recovery problem, we propose a framework that combines localized initial perturbations with sparse optimization techniques. We derive sufficient conditions that guarantee the unique reconstruction of the network's adjacency matrix from mean-field data and enable recovery of node states and local governing dynamics. Numerical experiments demonstrate the robustness of our approach across a range of sparsity and connectivity regimes. These results provide theoretical and computational foundations for inferring high-dimensional networked systems from low-dimensional observations.
