1) a) Let k ≥ 2 and let G be a k-regular bipartite graph. Prove that G has no cut-edge. (Hint: Use the bipartite version of handshaking.) b) Construct a simple, connected, nonbipartite 3-regular graph with a cut-edge. (This shows that the condition “bipartite” really is necessary in (a).) 2) Let F_n be a fan graph and Let a_n = τ(F_n) where τ(F_n) is the number of spanning trees in F_n. Use deletion/contraction to prove that a_n = 3a_n-1 - a_n-2...

Problem 8. A bipartite graph G = (V,E) is a graph whose vertices can be partitioned into two (disjoint) sets V1 and V2, such that every edge joins a vertex in V1 with a vertex in V2. This means no edges are within V1 or V2 (or symbolically: ∀u, v ∈ V1, {u,v} ∉ E and ∀u,v ∈ V2, {u,v} ∉ E). 8(a) Show that the complete graph K2 is a bipartite graph. 8(b) Prove that no complete graph Kn,...

Let G be a bipartite graph with 107 left vertices and 20 right vertices. Two vertices u, v are called twins if the set of neighbors of u equals the set of neighbors of v (triplets, quadruplets etc are defined similarly). Show that G has twins. Bonus: Show that G has triplets. What about quadruplets, etc.?
