They contain an introduction to basic concepts and results in graph theory, with a special emphasis put on the networktheoretic circuit cut dualism. Chakraborty this text is designed to provide an easy understanding of the subject with the brief theory and large pool of problems which helps the students hone their problemsolving skills and develop an intuitive grasp of the contents. The problem reduces to finding a closed walk in the graph which traverses each edge exactly once, this is called an eulerian circuit. They were introduced by hoffman and singleton in a paper that can be viewed as one of the prime sources of. Lecture 11 the graph theory approach for electrical. If uand vare two vertices of a tree, show that there is a unique path connecting them. It has at least one line joining a set of two vertices with no vertex connecting itself. Covering analysis and synthesis of networks, this text also gives an account on pspice. If there is an open path that traverse each edge only once, it is called an euler path. A circuit starting and ending at vertex a is shown below.
The notes form the base text for the course mat62756 graph theory. An euler cycle or circuit is a cycle that traverses every edge of a graph exactly once. Graph theory gordon college department of mathematics and. Connectedness an undirected graph is connected iff for every pair of vertices, there is a path containing them a directed graph is strongly connected iff it satisfies the above condition for all ordered pairs of vertices for every u, v, there are paths from u to v and v to u a directed graph is weakly connected iff replacing all directed edges with undirected ones makes it connected. A graph is connected if there is a path from any vertex to any other vertex.
A euler circuitcycle is a walk on the edges of a graph which starts and ends at the same vertex, and uses each edge in the graph exactly once. We will need to express this circuit in a standard form for input to the program. What is difference between cycle, path and circuit in. Show that a tree with nvertices has exactly n 1 edges. Lecture series on dynamics of physical system by prof. A circuit is a path that begins and ends at the same vertex. What is difference between cycle, path and circuit in graph theory. A trail or circuit is eulerian if it uses every edge in the graph. A circuit is a closed trail and a trivial circuit has a single vertex and no edges.
