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 graph is G is semi-Eulerian if there are distinct vertices u, v ∈ V (G), u =v such that there is a trail from u to v which goes over every edge of G. The following sequence of questions is towards a proof of the following: Theorem 1. A connected graph G is semi-Eulerian (but not Eulerian) if and only if it has exactly two vertices of odd degree. Let G be semi-Eulerian with a trail t starting at...

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,...

Consider an undirected graph G that has n distinct vertices. Assume n≥3. How many distinct edges will there be in any circuit for G that contains all the vertices in G? What is the maximum degree that any vertex in G can have? What is the maximum number of distinct edges G can have? What is the maximum number of distinct edges that G can have if G is disconnected?

Let G(V, E,w) be a weighted undirected graph, where V is the set of vertices, E is the set of edges, and w : E → R + is the weight of the edges (R + is the set of real positive numbers). Suppose T(G) is the set of all minimum spanning trees of G and is non-empty. If we know that the weight function w is a injection, i.e., no two edges in G have the same weight, then:...

(a) Prove the following claim: in every simple graph G on at least two vertices, we can always ﬁnd two distinct vertices v,w such that deg(v) = deg(w). (b) Prove the following claim: if G is a simple connected graph in which the degree of every vertex is even, then we can delete any edge from G and it will still be connected.

. Provide a weighted directed graph G = (V, E, c) that includes three vertices a, b, and c, and for which the maximum-cost simple path P from a to b includes vertex c, but the subpath from a to c is not the maximum-cost path from a to c
