Its negative resolution by Leonhard Euler in 1736 laid the foundations of graph theory and prefigured the idea of topology. • The city of Königsberg (now Kaliningrad) was set on both sides of the Pregel River, and included two large islands which were connected to each other and the mainland by seven bridges. The problem was to devise a walk through the city that would cross each bridge once and only once. The starting and ending points of the walk need not be the same. • Euler proved that the problem has no solution. The difficulty was the development of a technique of analysis and of subsequent tests that established this assertion with mathematical rigor. 2016 MCC092: Integrated Circuit Design 15 Graph theory: Euler paths → → Euler's argument shows that a necessary condition for the walk of the desired form is that the graph be connected and have exactly zero or two nodes of odd degree. This condition turns out also to be sufficient—a result stated by Euler and later proven by Carl Hierholzer. Such a walk is now called an Eulerian path or Euler walk in his honor. Further, if there are nodes of odd degree, then any Eulerian path will start at one of them and end at the other.

Travelling Salesman Problem1 Basic algorithm Definition 1 A Hamiltonian cycle in a graph is a simple circuit that passes through each vertex exactly once. + Problem. Let G(V; E) be a complete undirected graph, and c : E 7! R be a cost function defined on the edges. Find a minimum cost Hamiltonian cycle in G. This problem is called a travelling salesman problem. To illustrate the motivation, imagine that a salesman has a list of towns it should visit (and at the end to return to his home city), and a map, where there is a certain distance between any two towns. The salesman wants to minimize the total distance traveled. Definition 2 We say that the cost function defined on the edges satisfies a triangle inequality if for any three edges fu; vg, fu; wg and fv; wg in E it holds: c (fu; vg) + c (fv; wg) ≥ c (fu; wg) : In what follows we assume that the cost function c satisfies the triangle inequality. The main idea of the algorithm: Observe that removing an edge from the optimal travelling salesman tour leaves a path through all vertices, which contains a spanning tree. We have the following relations: cost(TSP) ≥ cost(Hamiltonian path without an edge) ≥ cost(MST) : 1Additional reading: Section 3 in the book of V.V. Vazirani \Approximation Algorithms". 1 Next, we describe how to build a travelling salesman path. Find a minimum spanning tree in the graph.

You must set o from any part of the city land: A; B; C or D, go through each of the bridges exactly once and return to the starting point. In 1736 this problem had been solved by the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler (1707-1783). He built a graph representing this problem.

  • On Hamiltonian Line-Graphsq
    ON HAMILTONIANLINE-GRAPHSQ BY GARY CHARTRAND Introduction. The line-graph L(G) of a nonempty graph G is the graph whose point set can be put in one-to-one correspondence with the line set of G in such a way that two points of L(G) are adjacent if and only if the corresponding lines of G are adjacent. In this paper graphs whose line-graphs are eulerian or hamiltonian are investigated and characterizations of these graphs are given. Furthermore, neces- sary and sufficient conditions are presented for iterated line-graphs to be eulerian or hamiltonian. It is shown that for any connected graph G which is not a path, there exists an iterated line-graph of G which is hamiltonian. Some elementary results on line-graphs. In the course of the article, it will be necessary to refer to several basic facts concerning line-graphs. In this section these results are presented. All the proofs are straightforward and are therefore omitted. In addition a few definitions are given. If x is a Une of a graph G joining the points u and v, written x=uv, then we define the degree of x by deg zz+deg v—2. We note that if w ' the point of L(G) which corresponds to the line x, then the degree of w in L(G) equals the degree of x in G. A point or line is called odd or even depending on whether it has odd or even degree. If G is a connected graph having at least one line, then L(G) is also a connected graph.

  • Eulerian and Hamiltonian Paths
    Eulerian and Hamiltonian Paths 1. Euler paths and circuits 1.1. The Könisberg Bridge Problem Könisberg was a town in Prussia, divided in four land regions by the river Pregel. The regions were connected with seven bridges as shown in figure 1(a). The problem is to find a tour through the town that crosses each bridge exactly once. Leonhard Euler gave a formal solution for the problem and –as it is believed- established the graph theory field in mathematics. (a) (b) Figure 1: The bridges of Könisberg (a) and corresponding graph (b) 1.2. Defining Euler paths Obviously, the problem is equivalent with that of finding a path in the graph of figure 1(b) such that it crosses each edge exactly one time. Instead of an exhaustive search of every path, Euler found out a very simple criterion for checking the existence of such paths in a graph. As a result, paths with this property took his name. Definition 1: An Euler path is a path that crosses each edge of the graph exactly once. If the path is closed, we have an Euler circuit. In order to proceed to Euler’s theorem for checking the existence of Euler paths, we define the notion of a vertex’s degree. Definition 2: The degree of a vertex u in a graph equals to the number of edges attached to vertex u. A loop contributes 2 to its vertex’s degree. 1.3. Checking the existence of an Euler path The existence of an Euler path in a graph is directly related to the degrees of the graph’s vertices.

  • Graph Theory to Gain a Deeper Understanding of What’S Going On
    Graphs Graphs and trees come up everywhere. I We can view the internet as a graph (in many ways) I who is connected to whom I Web search views web pages as a graph I Who points to whom I Niche graphs (Ecology): I The vertices are species I Two vertices are connected by an edge if they compete (use the same food resources, etc.) Niche graphs describe competitiveness. I Influence Graphs I The vertices are people I There is an edge from a to b if a influences b Influence graphs give a visual representation of power structure. I Social networks: who knows whom There are lots of other examples in all fields . By viewing a situation as a graph, we can apply general results of graph theory to gain a deeper understanding of what's going on. We're going to prove some of those general results. But first we need some notation . Directed and Undirected Graphs A graph G is a pair (V ; E), where V is a set of vertices or nodes and E is a set of edges I We sometimes write G(V ; E) instead of G I We sometimes write V (G) and E(G) to denote the vertices/edges of G. In a directed graph (digraph), the edges are ordered pairs (u; v) 2 V × V : I the edge goes from node u to node v In an undirected simple graphs, the edges are sets fu; vg consisting of two nodes. I there's no direction in the edge from u to v I More general (non-simple) undirected graphs (sometimes called multigraphs) allow self-loops and multiple edges between two nodes.

  • Multi-Eulerian Tours of Directed Graphs
    Multi-Eulerian tours of directed graphs Matthew Farrell Lionel Levine∗ Department of Mathematics Cornell University Ithaca, New York, U.S.A. [email protected] http://www.math.cornell.edu/~levine Submitted: 24 September 2015. Revised 4 April 2016; Accepted: ; Published: XX Mathematics Subject Classifications: 05C05, 05C20, 05C30, 05C45, 05C50 Abstract Not every graph has an Eulerian tour. But every finite, strongly connected graph has a multi-Eulerian tour, which we define as a closed path that uses each directed edge at least once, and uses edges e and f the same number of times whenever tail(e) = tail(f). This definition leads to a simple generalization of the BEST Theorem. We then show that the minimal length of a multi-Eulerian tour is bounded in terms of the Pham index, a measure of `Eulerianness'. Keywords: BEST theorem, coEulerian digraph, Eulerian digraph, Eulerian path, Laplacian, Markov chain tree theorem, matrix-tree theorem, oriented spanning tree, period vector, Pham index, rotor walk In the following G = (V; E) denotes a finite directed graph, with loops and multiple edges permitted. An Eulerian tour of G is a closed path that traverses each directed edge exactly once. Such a tour exists only if the indegree of each vertex equals its outdegree; the graphs with this property are called Eulerian. The BEST theorem (named for its discoverers: de Bruijn, Ehrenfest [4], Smith and Tutte [12]) counts the number of such tours. The purpose of this note is to generalize the notion of Eulerian tour and the BEST theorem to any finite, strongly connected graph G.
