Q: 是否存在一種走法,可以走過每條邊一次,並回
到起點?
Ans:
因為每次經過一個點,都需要從一條邊進入該點,再用另
一條邊離開,所以經過每個點一次要使用掉一對邊。
 每個點上連接的邊數必須是偶數才行
 此種走法不存在

Definition of a graph

A graph G is
a finite nonempty set V(G) of vertices (also
called nodes, 點) and
a (possibly empty) set E(G) of 2-element
subsets of V(G) called edges (or lines, 邊).
V(G) : vertex set of G (只有一個 G 時常簡寫為 V)
E(G) : edge set of G (只有一個 G 時常簡寫為 E)
常見的 edge 表示法: {u, v} = {v, u} = uv (or vu)
當邊有方向性時稱 G 為 directed graph (digraph)

Two graph G1 and G2 are isomorphic (同構)

that

Isomorphic
Definition.
Two graph G1 and G2 are equal
if V(G1) = V(G2) and E(G1) = E(G2).
Proposition.
1. If G1  G2, then |V(G1)| = |V(G2)| and
|E(G1)| = |E(G2)|.
2. If G1  G2 and  is an isomorphism from
V(G1) to V(G2), then
deg G1 (v)  deg G2 ( (v)), v  V (G1 )
(So the degree sequences of these graphs must be the same.)

Exercise 11
Show that a graph G contains (1) a path of
length d(G), and (2) a cycle of length at least
d(G) +1 if d(G)  2.
Proof: Let P: v0, v1, …, vk be a longest path of G.
Then deg(v0)  d(G),
and N(v0 )  V(P) for otherwise P is not longest.
It follows that the length of P is at least d(G).
Let vn be the vertex of P with v0vn E(G) and n is largest.
If d(G)  2, then n  2. Let C: v0, v1, …, vn, v0.
Since N(v0)  V(C),
It is clear that the length of C is at least d(G) +1.

1.7 Cut Vertices and

Definition 1
A vertex v in a graph G is called a
cut-vertex if k(G - v) > k(G).
So v is a cut-vertex in a connected
graph G if G - v is disconnected.

An edge e in a graph G is called a
bridge (cut-edge) if k(G - e) > k(G).
e.g. The graph in previous page:
v5v6 is a bridge.
Note.
(1) if v is a cut-vertex of a connected
graph G, then k(G - v)  2
(2)If e is a bridge of a connected graph G,

Theorem 1.4
An edge e of a connected graph G is a bridge
iff e does not lie on a cycle of G.
Proof.
() Let e be a bridge of G.
Suppose e =uv, and assume, to the contrary,
that e lies on a cycle C:u, v, w, …, x, u.
Then C - e:v, w, …, x, u is a u-v path of
G - e.
Claim: G - e is connected.
(If the claim is true, )
(e is not a bridge)
Ch1-68
Copyright  黃鈴玲
(Proof of above Claim)
Let u1, v1  V(G-e)=V(G)
∵G is connected
∴  u1-v1 path P in G.
If e  P, then P is also a path in G-e
  u1-v1 path in G-e
If e  P, then
(P C)-e is a u1-v1 walk in G-e
∴  u1-v1 path in G-e

Therefore, G-e is connected.

A block of a graph G that contains
