11.3 Vertex Degree: Euler Trails and Circuits Def. 11.15 Let G=(V,E) be an undirected graph or multigraph with no isolated vertices. Then G is said to have an Euler circuit if there is a circuit in G that traverses every edge of the graph exactly once. If there is an open trail from a to b in G and this trail traverses each edge in G exactly once, the trail is called an Euler trail. Theorem 11.3 Let G=(V,E) be an undirected graph or multigraph with no isolated vertices. Then G has an Euler circuit if and only if G is connected and every vertex in G has even degree. a b c
All degrees are odd. Hence no Euler circuit d for the Konigsberg bridges problem.

11.3 Vertex Degree: Euler Trails and Circuits Ex. 11.13 Complete Cycles (DeBruijn Sequences) If n is a positive integer and N=2n, a cycle of length N of 0's and 1's is called a complete cycle if all possible subsequences of 0's and 1's of length n appear in this cycle. n=1 01, n=2 0011, For n=3: a n=3 00010111,00011101 n=4 16 complete cycles 00 2 n 1 n In general 2 b h f vertex set={00,01,10,11} 01 10 a directed edge from x1x2 to x2 x3 g Find an Euler circuit: c e abcdefgh 00111010 abgfcdeh 00101110 11 d

11.4 Planar Graphs Def. 11.17 A graph (or multigraph) G is called planar if G can be drawn in the plane with its edges intersecting only at vertices of G. Such a drawing of G is called an embedding of G in the plane. Ex. 11.14,11.15 K1,K2,K3,K4 are planar, Kn for n>4 are nonplanar.
K4
K5
applications: VLSI routing, plumbing,...


11.4 Planar Graphs Def. 11.18 bipartite graph and complete bipartite graphs (Km,n) K4,4 K3,3 is not planar.
Therefore, any graph containing K5 or K4,4 is nonplanar.
20

11.4 Planar Graphs Def. 11.19 elementary subdivision (homeomorphic operation)
G1 and G2 are called homeomorphic if they are isomorphic or if they can both be obtained from the same loop-free undirected graph H by a sequence of elementary subdivisions. a e c b a d e c b a d e c b a d e c b d
Two homeomorphic graphs are simultaneously planar or nonplanar.


11.4 Planar Graphs Theorem 11.5 (Kuratowski's Theorem) A graph is planar if and only if it contains a subgraph that is homeomorphic to either K5 or K3,3. Ex. 11.17 Petersen graph a e j i h d c f g b a subgraph homeomorphic to K3,3 a j d i c b e f h g Petersen graph is nonplanar.

11.4 Planar Graphs R1 R2 R3 A planar graph divides the plane into several regions (faces), one of them is the infinite region. v=4,e=6,r=4, v-e+r=2

Theorem 11.6 (Euler's planar graph theorem) For a connected planar graph or multigraph: v-e+r=2 number of vertices
number of edges
number of regions
23

11.4 Planar Graphs proof: The proof is by induction on e. e=0 or 1 v-e+r=2 v=1 r=1 e=0 v=1 r=2 e=1 v=2 r=1 e=1
Assume that the result is true for any connected planar graph or multigraph with e edges, where 0 e e e k Now for G=(V,E) with |E|=k+1 edges, let H=G-(a,b) for a,b in V. Since H has k edges, v H e H rH ! 2 And, v G ! v H , e G ! e H 1. Now consider the situation about regions.

11.4 Planar Graphs
case 1: H is connected b b a(=b) a(=b) a
@ v G e G rG ! v H ( e H 1) ( rH 1) ! v H e H rH ! 2

11.4 Planar Graphs case 2: H is disconnected a b a H1
b H2
b H2 H1 a b v H1 v H2 ! v G , e H1 e H2 ! e G 1, rH1 rH2 ! rG 1. And by the induction hypothesis, v H1 e H1 rH1 ! 2 , v H2 e H2 rH2 ! 2 . Therefore, v G e G rG ! ( v H1 v H2 ) ( e H1 e H2 1) ( rH1 rH2 1) ! ( v H1 e H1 rH1 ) ( v H2 e H2 rH2 ) 2 ! 2 2 2 ! 2 a

11.4 Planar Graphs degree of a region (deg(R)): the number of edges traversed in a shortest closed walk about the boundary of R. two different embeddings R 6 a R8 b R2 R4 R5 R3 c R7 R1 g h d f deg(R5)=4,deg(R6)=3 deg(R1)=5,deg(R2)=3 deg(R7)=5,deg(R8)=6 deg(R3)=3,deg(R4)=7 abghgfda

deg( Ri ) ! 18 ! deg( Ri ) ! 2 v 9 ! 2 | E |

11.4 Planar Graphs Corollary 11.3 Let G = (V , E ) be a loop - free connected planar graph with | V | = v, | E | = e > 2, and r regions. Then 3r e 2 e and e e 3v - 6. Proof: Since G is a loop - free and is not a multigraph, the boundary of each region (including the infinite region) contains at least three edges. Hence, each region has degree u 3. Consequently, 2 e = 2 | E | = the sum of the degrees of the r regions determined by G and 2 e u 3r . From Euler' s theorem, 2e e 2 = v - e + r e v - e + ! v , so 6 e 3v - e, or e e 3v - 6. 3 3 Only a necessary condition, not sufficient.
28

11.4 Planar Graphs Ex. 11.18 For K5, e=10,v=5, 3v-6=9<10=e. Therefore, by Corollary 11.3, K5 is nonplanar. Ex. 11.19 For K3,3, each region has at least 4 edges, hence 4r e 2e. If K3,3 is planar, r=e-v+2=9-6+2=5. So 20=4r e 2e=18, a contradiction.
29

11.4 Planar Graphs A dual graph of a planar graph 1 a 2 c 6 5 e g d 4 f 6 5 4 3 b 1 2 3
An edge in G corresponds with an edge in Gd.
It is possible to have isomorphic graphs with respective duals that are not isomorphic.

11.4 Planar Graphs Def. 11.20 cut-set: a subset of edges whose removal increase the number of components Ex. 11.21 b a c d e f h cut-sets: {(a,b),(a,c)}, {(b,d),(c,d)},{(d,f)},...
a bridge g
For planar graphs, cycles in one graph correspond to cut-sets in a dual graphs and vice versa.

11.5 Hamilton Paths and Cycles a path or cycle that contain every vertex Unlike Euler circuit, there is no known necessary and sufficient condition for a graph to be Hamiltonian. an NP-complete problem Ex. 11.24 a d g b e h i
c f
There is a Hamilton path, but no Hamilton cycle.

11.5 Hamilton Paths and Cycles Ex. 11.25 y x x y x y The method works only for bipartite graphs. The Hamilton path problem is still NP-complete when restricted to bipartite graphs.
start labeling from here y x y 4x's and 6y's, since x and y must interleave in a Hamilton path (or cycle), the graph is not Hamiltonian

11.5 Hamilton Paths and Cycles Ex. 11.26 17 students sit at a circular table, how many sittings are there such that one has two different neighbors each time? Consider K17, a Hamilton cycle in K17 corresponds to a seating arrangements. Each cycle has 17 edges, so we can have (1/17)17(17-1)/2=8 different sittings. 5 5 5 15 3 15 15 3 1 17 2 16 4 1 17 2 16 4 1 17 16 14

6 6 1,3,5,2,7,4,...,17,14,16,1 1,5,7,3,9,2,...,16,12,14,1
34

11.5 Hamilton Paths and Cycles * * Theorem 11.7 Let Kn be a complete directed graph, i.e. , Kn has n vertices and for any distinct pair x , y of vertices, exactly * one of the edges ( x , y ) or (y , x ) is in Kn . Such a graph (called a tournament ) always contains a directed Hamilton path. Proof: Let m u 2 with pm a path containing m -1 edges (v1 , v 2 ), (v 2 , v 3 ),- , (v m1 , v m ). If m = n, we' re finished. If not, let v be a vertex that doesn' t appear in pm . case 1. case 2. case 3. v v1 v1 v1 v2 v2 v2 ...vk ...vm ...vm v v vk+1 ...vm
35

11.5 Hamilton Paths and Cycles Ex. 11.27 In a round-robin tournament each player plays every other player exactly once. We want to somehow rank the players according to the result of the tournament. not always possible to have a ranking where a player in a certain position has beaten all of the opponents in later positions a b c
but by Theorem 11.7, it is possible to list the players such that each has beaten the next player on the list
36

11.5 Hamilton Paths and Cycles
Theorem 11.8 Let G = (V , E ) be a loop - free graph with |V |= n u 2. If deg(x ) + deg( y ) u n -1 for all x , y V , x { y , then G has a Hamilton path.
Proof: First prove that G is connected. If not, x n1 vertices y n2 vertices

n1 n2 1
deg(x ) deg( y ) e (n1 1) (n2 1) ! n1 n2 2
a contradiction
37

11.5 Hamilton Paths and Cycles
Theorem 11.8 Let G = (V , E ) be a loop - free graph with |V |= n u 2. If deg(x ) + deg( y ) u n -1 for all x , y V , x { y , then G has a Hamilton path.
Assume a path pm with m vertices case 1. either v v1 or vm v

...
vm
otherwise assume deg(v1)=k, then deg(vm)<m-k. deg(v1)+deg(vm)<m<n-1, a contradiction Therefore, v can be added to the cycle.
v

11.5 Hamilton Paths and Cycles n -1 Corollary 11.4. If deg(v ) u for all vertices, then the graph 2 has a Hamilton path. Theorem 11.9 Let G = (V , E ) be a loop - free undirected graph with |V |= n u 3. If deg(x ) + deg( y ) u n for all nonadjacent x , y V , then G contains contains a Hamilton cycle. Proof: Assume G does not contain a Hamilton cycle. We add edges to G until we arrive a subgraph H of Kn where H has no Hamilton cycle, but for any edge e not in H, H+e has a Hamilton cycle. For vertices a,b wher (a,b) is not an edge of H. H+(a,b) has a Hamilton cycle and (a,b) is part of it.
39

11.5 Hamilton Paths and Cycles a(=v1) b(=v2) v3 ... vn
If (b,vi) is in H, then (a,vi-1) cannot be in H. Otherwise, b vi vn a vi-1 vi-2 v3 is a Hamilton cycle in H. Consequently, deg H ( a ) deg H (b) n, which means deg G (a ) deg G (b) n, a contradiction. n Corollary 11.5 If deg(v ) u for all vertices, then the graph has a 2 Hamilton cycle.
40

11.5 Hamilton Paths and Cycles Corollary 11.6 If G = (V , E ) is a loop - free unirected graph with n -1 |V |= n u 3, and if | E |u 2, then G has a Hamilton cycle. 2 Proof: Let a ,b V where ( a ,b) E . Remove all edges connected either to a or b and then a , b. Let H = (V ' , E ' ) denote the resulting subgraph. Then | E |=| E ' |+ deg(a ) + deg(b). Since |V ' |= n - 2, n - 1 n - 2 | E ' |e . Consequently, 2 e | E | ! | E ' |+ deg(a ) + deg(b) 2 2 n - 2 e + deg(a ) + deg(b). Therefore, deg(a ) + deg(b) u 2 n - 1 n - 2 2 ! n and G has a Hamilton cycle. 2 2

11.5 Hamilton Paths and Cycles A related problem: the traveling salesman problem a 3 b 1 5 3 3 4 c 2 2 e 4 Find a Hamilton cycle of shortest total distance. For example, a-b-e-c-d-a with total cost= 1+3+4+2+2=12. d graph problem vs. Euclidean plane problem (computational geometry)
Certain geometry properties (for example, the triangle inequality) sometimes (but not always) make it simpler.

11.5 Hamilton Paths and Cycles Two famous computational geometry problems. 1. closest pair problem: which two points are nearest 2. convex hull problem
the convex hull
43

11.6 Graph Coloring and Chromatic Polynomials Def. 11.22 If G=(V,E) is an undirected graph, a proper coloring of G occurs when we color the vertices of G so that if (a,b) is an edge in G, then a and b are colored with different colors. The minimum number of colors needed to properly color G is called the chromatic number of G and is written G(G). a 3 colors are needed. e a: Red G(Kn)=n b b: Green G(bipartite graph)=2 c: Red d: Blue d e: Red c In general, it's a very difficult problem (NP-complete).

11.6 Graph Coloring and Chromatic Polynomials A related problem: color the map where two regions are colored with different colors if they have same boundaries. a B c d R b G Re B f a b c d Four colors are enough for any map. Remain a mystery for a century. Proved with the aid of computer analysis in 1976. f e
45

11.6 Graph Coloring and Chromatic Polynomials P(G,P): the chromatic polynomial of G=the number of ways to color G with P colors. Ex. 11.31 (a) G=n isolated points, P(G,P)=Pn. (b) G=Kn, P(G,P)=P(P-1)(P-2)...(P-n+1)=P(n) (c) G=a path of n vertices, P(G,P)=P(P-1)n-1. (d) If G is made up of components G1, G2, ..., Gk, then P(G,P)=P(G1,P)P(G2,P)...P(Gk,P). Ex. 11.32 e G Ge coalescing the vertices G'e
46

11.6 Graph Coloring and Chromatic Polynomials Theorem 11.10 Decomposition Theorem for Chromatic Polynomials. If G=(V,E) is a connected graph and e is an edge, then P(Ge,P)=P(G,P)+P(G'e,P). a e coalescing the vertices
b Ge G'e G In a proper coloring of Ge: case 1. a and b have the same color: a proper coloring of G'e case 2. a and b have different colors: a proper coloring of G. Hence, P(Ge,P)=P(G,P)+P(G'e,P).
47

11.6 Graph Coloring and Chromatic Polynomials Ex. 11.33 e = -
P(G'e,P) P(G,P) P(Ge,P) P(G,P)=P(P-1)3-P(P-1)(P-2)=P4-4P3+6P2-3P Since P(G,1)=0 while P(G,2)=2>0, we know that G(G)=2. Ex. 11.34 e = e = -2 G(G)=4
P(G,P)=PP(4)-2P(4)= P(P-1)(P-2)2(P-3)
