100

Define a walk

Any route through a network

100

Define an Eulerian Graph

A trail that traverses every edge once and starts and finishes at the same vertex.

100

Define a planar graph

When a graph can be redrawn with no intersecting edges

100

How many vertices are in this network?

4

200

Define a Trail

A walk that does not repeat any edges

200

Define a Hamiltonian Path (Cycle)

A path that visits each vertex once and starts and finishes at the same vertex. (Can repeat the start and finishing vertex)

200

How many faces does this graph have?

6

200

What does the highlighted rectangle tell you about about the network?

The network is disconnected

300

Define a Path

A walk that does not repeat any vertices

300

How can you use the degrees of the vertices of a network to show a graph has a Semi-Eulerian trail.

If the graph has a pair of odd degree vertices then there must be a Semi-Eulerian trail.

300

Recall Euler's formula

v+f-e=2

300

What does the circled number 1 tell you about the network?


The network has a loop

400

Define a cycle

A path that starts and finishes at the same vertex.

OR

A walk that does not repeat vertices that starts and finishes at the same vertex.

400

How can you use the degrees of the vertices of a network to show a graph is Eulerian?

If the degrees of the vertices are all even then the graph is Eulerian which means an Eulerian trail is possible.

400

Is the following graph planar?

Yes

400

What does a leading diagonal of zeroes tell you about the network?


There are no loops at any vertex.

500

Define a Closed Trail

A trail that starts and finishes at the same vertex.

OR

A walk that does not repeat edges and starts and finishes at the same vertex.

500
