Study Notes
Euler Paths and Circuits
- A graph is a collection of vertices (dots) and edges (lines) connecting them.
- Euler paths traverse all edges exactly once.
- Euler circuits start and end at the same vertex, traversing all edges once.
- Isolated points are vertices with no edges connected to them and are not considered in this context.
- Loops are edges that connect a vertex to itself.
- The Königsberg bridges puzzle illustrates the concept of Euler paths/circuits.
- Euler's solution involved a rephrasing of the problem in terms of a multigraph (multiple edges allowed).
- A graph has an Euler circuit if and only if all vertices have even degree (number of edges connected to each vertex).
- A graph has an Euler path if and only if exactly two vertices have odd degree; starting and ending points of the path must be among these odd-degree vertices.
- Graphs with more than two odd-degree vertices are not traversable.
- These rules are used to determine if a path or circuit is an Euler path or Euler circuit.
Hamilton Paths and Circuits
- A Hamilton path visits each vertex of a graph exactly once.
- A Hamilton circuit begins and ends at the same vertex.
- Unlike Euler paths/circuits, there's no inherent trick to identify Hamilton paths/circuits.
- The Euler and Hamilton concepts can be used to analyze different scenarios.
