Let G be a simple undirected graph with n vertices where n is an
even number. Prove that G contains a triangle if it has at least
(n^2 / 4) + 1 edges using mathematical induction.
Prove or disprove: If G = (V; E) is an undirected graph where
every vertex has degree at least 4 and u is in V , then there are
at least 64 distinct paths in G that start at u.
Problem 2. Consider a graph G =
(V,E) where |V|=n.
2(a) What is the total number of possible paths of length
k ≥ 0 in G from a given starting vertex
s and ending vertex t? Hint: a path of length
k is a sequence of k + 1 vertices without
duplicates.
2(b) What is the total number of possible paths of any length in
G from a given starting vertex s and ending
vertex t?
2(c) What is the...
Question 1
a) Prove that if u and v are distinct vertices of a graph G,
there exists a walk from u to v if and only if there exists a path
(a walk with distinct vertices) from u to v.
b) Prove that a graph is bipartite if and only if it contains no
cycles of odd length.
Please write legibly with step by step details. Many thanks!
A maximal plane graph is a plane graph G = (V, E) with n ≥ 3
vertices such that if we join any two non-adjacent vertices in G,
we obtain a non-plane graph.
a) Draw a maximal plane graphs on six vertices.
b) Show that a maximal plane graph on n points has 3n − 6 edges
and 2n − 4 faces.
c) A triangulation of an n-gon is a plane graph whose infinite
face boundary is a convex n-gon...
