An introduction to graph theory (Text for Math 530 in Spring 2022 at Drexel University) Darij Grinberg* Spring 2023 edition, November 6, 2024 Abstract. This is a graduate-level introduction to graph theory, corresponding to a quarter-long course. It covers simple graphs, multigraphs as well as their directed analogues, and more restrictive
Theorem: In any graph with at least two nodes, there are at least two nodes of the same degree. Proof 1: Let G be a graph with n ≥ 2 nodes. There are n possible choices for the degrees of nodes in G, namely, 0, 1, 2, …, and n – 1. We claim that G cannot simultaneously have a node u of degree 0 and a node v of degree n – 1: if there were ...
A path in a graph G = (V, E) is a sequence of one or more nodes v₁, v₂, v₃, …, vₙ such that any two consecutive nodes in the sequence are adjacent. A cycle in a graph is a path from a node back to itself. (By convention, a cycle cannot have length zero.) A cycle in a graph is a path from a node back to itself. (By convention, a cycle ...
Any graph produced in this way will have an important property: it can be drawn so that no edges cross each other; this is a planar graph. Non-planar graphs can require more than four colors, for example this graph:. This is called the complete graph on ve vertices, denoted K5; in a complete graph, each vertex is connected to each of the others.
If the graph is directed, we may still define a signed adjacency matrix A~ with elements A~ ij = 8 >< >: 1, if edge goes from v i to v j +1, if edge goes from v j to i 0, otherwise (1.6) The characteristic polynomial of a graph is defined as the characteristic polynomial of the adjacency matrix p(G; x) = det(A xI)(1.7) For the graph in Fig. 1 ...
The highlight is its wide coverage of topics in graph theory, ranging from the fundamentals to very advanced topics. … The book ranks highly in terms of standards, originality, and class. … I have no doubt that this book will be a real asset for all graph theorists and those studying graph theory at all levels.” (Sudev Naduvath, Computing ...
Basics of Graph Theory 1 Basic notions A simple graph G = (V,E) consists of V, a nonempty set of vertices, and E, a set of unordered pairs of distinct elements of V called edges. Simple graphs have their limits in modeling the real world. Instead, we use multigraphs, which consist of vertices and undirected edges between these ver-
1.1 Graphs and their plane figures 5 Later we concentrate on (simple) graphs. DEFINITION.We also study directed graphs or digraphs D = (V,E), where the edges have a direction, that is, the
Graph Theory 1 Introduction Graphs are an incredibly useful structure in Computer Science! They arise in all sorts of applications, including scheduling, optimization, communications, and the design and analysis of algorithms. In the next few lectures, we’ll even show how two Stanford stu-dents used graph theory to become multibillionaires.
Graph theory is a flourishing discipline containing a body of beautiful and powerful theorems of wide applicability. Its explosive growth in recent years is mainly due to its role as an essential structure underpinning modern applied mathematics – computer science, combinatorial optimization, and operations research in particular – but also to its increasing application in the more applied ...
2 1. Graph Theory At first, the usefulness of Euler’s ideas and of “graph theory” itself was found only in solving puzzles and in analyzing games and other recreations. In the mid 1800s, however, people began to realize that graphs could be used to model many things that were of interest in society. For instance, the “Four Color Map ...
A simple graph does not have multiple edges or loops. Our book uses multigraph if loops aren’t allowed and pseudograph if loops are allowed (whether or not they actually occur). Other books call it a multigraph [with / without] loops allowed. Prof. Tesler Ch. 1. Intro to Graph Theory Math 154 / Winter 2020 13 / 42
graph is a graph that does not contain any arrows on its edges, indicating which way to go. A directed graph, on the other hand, is a graph in which its edges contain arrows indicating which way to go. 2.2 Properties of graph In this section we will cover key properties of a graph. There are two main properties of a graph: degrees and walks.

graph is a simple graph whose vertices are pairwise adjacent. The complete graph with n vertices is denoted Kn. K 1 K 2 K 3 K 4 K 5 Before we can talk about complete bipartite graphs, we must understand bipartite graphs. An independent set in a graph is a set of vertices that are pairwise nonadjacent. A graph G is bipartite if V(G) is the union ...

new sort of mathematical object and that object is a graph. The graph we’re referring to is not the kind of graph you’ve seen before. For example, Figure 1.1 shows the graph of the function y =sinx.Thatis not the kind of graph we’re referring to. The Problem of the Five Princes Once upon a time, there was a kingdom ruled by a king who had ...
Introduction to Graph Theory 2.1 Basic notions of graph theory A graph is an ordered pair of sets (V,E) such that E is a subset of the set V 2 of unordered pairs of elements of V.ThesetV = V(G)isthesetofvertices and E = E(G)isthesetofedges. The vertices u and v are the endvertices of this edge and we also say thatu,v are adjacent vertices in G.

Leveraging mixed-integer programming (MIP) and heuristic methods, the \emph{Optimist} generates conjectures that both rediscover established theorems and propose novel inequaliti
