    Study Notes

    Chapter 8: The Mathematics of Graphs and Euler Circuits

    • Core Idea: Mathematics creates connections and fosters efficiency through visual tools like graphs and algorithms.

    Learning Objectives

    • Define a graph
    • Describe different types and families of graphs
    • Find Euler paths and circuits
    • Solve real-world problems involving Euler paths and circuits

    The Königsberg Problem

    • A historical problem about traversing bridges in Königsberg exactly once
    • Is it possible to walk across each bridge only once and return to the starting point? This question introduced the concept of Euler circuits and paths.
    • This problem involved four land areas linked by seven bridges.
    • The original Königsberg configuration is not traversable in an Euler circuit.

    Graph Theory

    • A branch of mathematics that illustrates and analyzes connections between objects
    • Applications include biology, genetics, urban planning, finance, stock markets, telecommunications, and circuit design

    Graph Definition

    • A set of points (vertices) and line segments or curves (edges)
    • Two vertices are adjacent if they share a common edge
    • Two edges are adjacent if they share a common vertex
    • A loop is an edge where the endpoints are the same vertex
    • Multiple edges are two or more edges between the same two vertices
    • A simple graph has no loops or multiple edges

    Connected and Disconnected Graphs

    • A connected graph has at least one path connecting any two vertices
    • A disconnected graph does not have a path linking all vertices

    Null Graph

    • A graph with no edges between any two vertices

    Complete Graph

    • A graph where every possible edge is drawn between the vertices
    • Any two vertices are adjacent

    Bipartite Graph

    • A graph where vertices can be divided into two disjoint subsets
    • Every edge connects a vertex in one subset to a vertex in the other subset.

    Directed Graph

    • A graph where all edges are directed from one vertex to another (also called a digraph)

    Tree Graph

    • An undirected graph where any two vertices are connected by exactly one path

    Equivalent Graphs

    • Two or more graphs are equivalent if the edges create the same connections for their vertices.

    Path

    • A sequence of edges that connects a series of distinct vertices

    Circuit

    • A closed path (cycle) where the path starts and ends at the same vertex

    Euler Path

    • A path that traverses each edge in a graph exactly once, starting and ending at distinct vertices

    Euler Circuit

    • A circuit that traverses every edge in a graph exactly once, starting and ending at the same vertex

    Degree of a Vertex

    • The number of edges incident to a vertex

    Eulerian Graph Theorem

    • A connected graph is Eulerian if and only if every vertex has an even degree
    • A graph has an Eulerian circuit if and only if all its vertices have an even degree.
    • A graph has an Eulerian path if and only if it has exactly two vertices with an odd degree.

    Application Examples

    • Köningsberg bridge problem (four land areas, seven bridges) – impossible to traverse all bridges exactly once and return to the start.
    • Possible journey traversing tracks in a city, such as a train system.
    • Designing a trip that traverses all roads exactly once in a city.
    • The floor plan of an art gallery with doorways to represent the connections between rooms - e.g. if each room has an even number of doors leading in and out, an Eulerian circuit is possible.
