An Eulerian trail, [note 1] or Euler walk, in an undirected graph is a walk that uses each edge exactly once. If such a walk exists, the graph is called traversable or semi-eulerian. [3] An Eulerian cycle, [note 1] also called an Eulerian circuit or Euler tour, in an undirected graph is a cycle that uses each edge exactly once
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 proved by Carl Hierholzer. Such a walk is now called an Eulerian trail or Euler walk in his honor ...
A directed circuit is a non-empty directed trail (e 1, e 2, ..., e n) with a vertex sequence (v 1, v 2, ..., v n, v 1). A directed cycle or simple directed circuit is a directed circuit in which only the first and last vertices are equal. [1] n is called the length of the directed circuit resp. length of the directed cycle.

When the graph has an Eulerian circuit (a closed walk that covers every edge once), that circuit is an optimal solution. Otherwise, the optimization problem is to find the smallest number of graph edges to duplicate (or the subset of edges with the minimum possible total weight) so that the resulting multigraph does have an Eulerian circuit. [1]
A Hamiltonian cycle, Hamiltonian circuit, vertex tour or graph cycle is a cycle that visits each vertex exactly once. A graph that contains a Hamiltonian cycle is called a Hamiltonian graph . Similar notions may be defined for directed graphs , where each edge (arc) of a path or cycle can only be traced in a single direction (i.e., the vertices ...
circuit A circuit may refer to a closed trail or an element of the cycle space (an Eulerian spanning subgraph). The circuit rank of a graph is the dimension of its cycle space. circumference The circumference of a graph is the length of its longest simple cycle. The graph is Hamiltonian if and only if its circumference equals its order. class 1.
