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!

Instructions: Question 1: A directed graph G consists of • vertices (V ) (also called nodes) • edges (E) (also called links). An edge can have extra data. The number of nodes |V | and the number of edges |E| are denoted by n and m respectively. An undirected graph is like a directed graph except the edges do not have direction. Some more definitions: • An undirected graph is connected if there exists a path between all u, v...

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,...
