Definitions - Graph
A generalization of the simple concept of a set of dots, links, edges or arcs.
A graph G is a non linear data structure represented as an ordered pair as G=<V,E>.
A graph G is mathematical structure consisting of two sets V and E where V is non-empty set of
vertices and E is a non-empty set of edges.
Representation:
Graph G = (V, E)
 Set of vertices denoted by V, or by V(G) and
 Set of edges E, or E(G)
Example: Suppose there is a graph G = (V, E), where
V = {a, b, c, d}, and
E = {(a, b), (a, c), (b, c), (c, d)}.

Basic Terminology
1. Trivial Graph: A graph consisting only one vertex and no edge.
Example :
2. Null Graph:- A Graph consisting n vertex and no edge.

Definitions – Edge Type
3. Directed: Ordered pair of vertices. Represented as (u, v) directed from vertex u to v.
A set of vertices, which are connected with the directed edges.
In the directed graph, the edges have a direction which is associated with the vertices.
A graph consist the direction of the edges then this is called directed graph.
4. Undirected: Unordered pair of vertices. Represented as {u, v}.
A graph which is not directed then it is called undirected graph.
A set of vertices which are connected together by the undirected edges.
All the edges of this graph are bidirectional.

5. Loop: A loop is an edge whose endpoints are equal.
i.e., An edge joining a vertex to it self is called a loop. Represented as {u, u} = {u}
6. Multiple Edges: A collection of two or more edges joining the same
pair of vertices.
u

Definitions – Graph Type
7. Proper edge:- An edge which is not self loop is called proper edge.
8. Simple Graph: A graph does not contain any self loop and multiage. Each edge is associated with an
unordered pair of vertices.
Representation Example: G(V, E), V = {u, v, w}, E = {{u, v}, {v, w}, {u, w}}
u v

9. Multigraph: A graph does not contain any self loop but contain multiedge is called multigraph.
G(V,E), consists of set of vertices V, set of Edges E and a function f from E to {{u, v}| u, v V, u ≠ v}.
The edges e1 and e2 are called multiple or parallel edges if f (e1) = f (e2).

12. Incidence and adjacency
Two vertices, u and v in an undirected graph G are called adjacent (or neighbors) in G,
if {u, v} is an edge of G.
An edge e connecting u and v is called incident with vertices u and v, or is said to
connect u and v.
The vertices u and v are called endpoints of edge {u, v}.
Here e1 is incident of V1 and V2 and V1 and V2 are adjacent.

13. Infinite Graph:- A graph is said to be infinite if it has an infinite number of vertices as well as an
infinite number of edges.
14. Finite Graph:- A graph with finite vertex set is called a finite graph.

Parallel Edge :- If there are more than one edge between two nodes then they are known as parallel
edges.
Not a parallel edges because ()u,v) and (v,u) are two different edges
u
u v
v
u v

15 Digraph Graph:
A graph G = (V, E) with a mapping f such that every edge maps onto some ordered pair of vertices (Vi, Vj)
are called a Digraph. It is also called Directed Graph.
The ordered pair (Vi, Vj) means an edge between Vi and Vj with an arrow directed from Vi to Vj. Here in
the figure: e1 = (V1, V2) e2 = (V2, V3) e4 = (V2, V4)

16. Labeled Graph:
If the vertices and edges of a graph are labeled with name, date, or weight then it is
called a labeled graph. It is also called Weighted Graph.

17. Symmetric Digraph:
A digraph in which each pair of vertices have either one edge or no edges
is known as symmetric digraph.
18 Asymmetric Digraph
A digraph in which each pair of vertices x, y have either no edges or two
edges <x, y> and <y, x>

Connected and Disconnected Graph:-
A graph is said to be connected if every pair of vertices in the graph is connected. This means that there
is a path between every pair of vertices.
An undirected graph that is not connected is called disconnected.

Terminology – Undirected graphs
Degree of Vertex (deg (v)):
The degree of a vertex in an undirected graph is the number of edges incident with it, except that a loop at a vertex
contributes twice to the degree of that vertex.
Pendant :- A vertex is pendant if and only if it has degree one.
A pendant vertex is adjacent to exactly one other vertex.
Pendant Vertex: deg (v) =1
Isolated Vertex : A vertex of degree zero is called isolated. K
Isolated Vertex: deg (k) = 0
Representation Example: For V = {u, v, w} , E = { {u, w}, {u, w}, (u, v) }, deg (u) = 2, deg (v) = 1, deg (w) = 1, deg (k) = 0, w and
v are pendant , k is isolated

v

deg( e ) = 0
deg( b ) = 6
Find the degree of all the other vertices. deg( a )=2 deg( c )= 4 deg( f)=3 deg( g )=4
deg( d ) = 1
Terminology – Undirected graphs

For the edge (u, v), u is adjacent to v OR v is adjacent from u, u – Initial vertex, v – Terminal vertex
In-degree (deg- (u)): Number of edges for which u is terminal vertex
Out-degree (deg+ (u)): Number of edges for which u is initial vertex
Note: A loop contributes 1 to both in-degree and out-degree (why?)
Representation Example: For V = {u, v, w} , E = { (u, w), ( v, w), (u, v) }, deg- (u) = 0,
deg+ (u) = 2, deg- (v) = 1, deg+ (v) = 1, and deg- (w) = 2, deg+ (u) = 0

v

Theorems: The Handshaking theorem:
Sum of degree of all the vertices is twice the number of edges contained in it.

Example 2
2. A simple graph G has 24 edges and degree of each vertex is 4. Find the number of vertices.
Given-
Number of edges = 24
Degree of each vertex = 4
Let number of vertices in the graph = n.
Using Handshaking Theorem, we have-
Sum of degree of all vertices = 2 x Number of edges
Substituting the values, we get-
n x 4 = 2 x 24
n = 2 x 6
∴ n = 12
Thus, Number of vertices in the graph = 12

Example 3
A graph contains 21 edges, 3 vertices of
degree 4 and all other vertices of degree 2.
Find total number of vertices.
Solution-
Given-
• Number of edges = 21
• Number of degree 4 vertices = 3
• All other vertices are of degree 2
3 x 4 + (n-3) x 2 = 2 x 21
12 + 2n – 6 = 42
2n = 42 – 6
2n = 36
∴ n = 18
Thus, Total number of vertices in the graph = 18.

Example 4
A graph has 24 edges and degree of each vertex is k, then which of the following is possible number of
vertices?
A. 20 B. 15 C. 10 D. 8
Given-
• Number of edges = 24
• Degree of each vertex = k
n x k = 2 x 24
k = 48 / n
Now,
• It is obvious that the degree of any vertex must be a
whole number.
• So in the above equation, only those values of ‘n’
are permissible which gives the whole value of ‘k’.
Now, let us check all the options one by one-
• For n = 20, k = 2.4 which is not allowed.
• For n = 8, k = 6 which is allowed

Simple graphs – special cases
Complete graph: Kn, is the simple graph that contains exactly one edge between each
pair of distinct vertices.
Representation Example: K1, K2, K3, K4
K2
K1
K4
K3
• Each vertex is connected with all the remaining vertices through exactly one edge.

Cycle: A simple graph of ‘n’ vertices (n>=3) and n edges forming a cycle of length ‘n’ is called as a cycle
graph.
In a cycle graph, all the vertices are of degree 2.
Cn, n ≥ 3 consists of n vertices v1, v2, v3 … vn and edges {v1, v2}, {v2, v3}, {v3, v4} … {vn-1, vn}, {vn, v1}
Representation Example: C3, C4
C3 C4

Cyclic Graph-
 A graph containing at least one cycle in it is called as a cyclic graph.
This graph contains two cycles in it.
Therefore, it is a cyclic graph
Acyclic Graph-
A graph not containing any cycle in it is called as an acyclic graph.
This graph do not contain any cycle in it.

Wheels: Wn, obtained by adding additional vertex to Cn and connecting all vertices to this new vertex by
new edges.
Representation Example: W3, W4
W3 W4

N-cubes: Qn, vertices represented by 2n bit strings of length n.
Two vertices are adjacent if and only if the bit strings that they represent differ by exactly one bit
positions
Representation Example: Q1, Q2

Regular Graph:-
A graph in which degree of all the vertices is same is called as a regular graph.
If all the vertices in a graph are of degree ‘k’, then it is called as a “k-regular graph“.
n these graphs,
•All the vertices have degree-2.
•Therefore, they are 2-Regular graphs.

Bipartite graphs
A bipartite graph, also called a bigraph, is a set of graph vertices decomposed into two disjoint sets such
that no two graph vertices within the same set are adjacent.
If the vertex set V of a graph G can be partitioned into two non empty disjoint subsets X and Y in such way
that each edge of G has one end in X and one end in Y then G is called Bigraph or bipartite graph.
A bipartite graph is a special kind of graph with the following properties-
• It consists of two sets of vertices X and Y.
• The vertices of set X join only with the vertices of set Y.
• The vertices within the same set do not join.
V
x Y

Bipartite graphs
The vertices of the graph can be decomposed into two sets.
The two sets are X = {A, C} and Y = {B, D}.
The vertices of set X join only with the vertices of set Y and vice-versa.
The vertices within the same set do not join.
Therefore, it is a bipartite graph

Bipartite graphs
Note:- If a graph is connected then it will not bipartite

Complete Bipartite graphs
A graph G = (V, E) is called a complete bipartite graph if its vertices V can be partitioned into two subsets
V1 and V2 such that each vertex of V1 is connected to each vertex of V2. The
number of edges in a complete bipartite graph is m.n as each of the m vertices is connected to each of the n
vertices.
Km,n is the graph that has its vertex set portioned into two subsets of m and n vertices, respectively There is an
edge between two vertices if and only if one vertex is in the first subset and the other vertex is in the second
subset.
Representation example: K2,3, K3,3
K2,3 K3,3
A bipartite graph where every vertex of set X is joined
to every vertex of set Y is called as complete bipartite

Problem-01:
Is the following graph a bipartite graph?
Sol: The given graph may be redrawn as-
This graph consists of two sets of vertices.
The two sets are X = {1, 4, 6, 7} and Y = {2, 3, 5, 8}.
The vertices of set X are joined only with the vertices of set Y
and vice-versa.
Also, any two vertices within the same set are not joined.
This satisfies the definition of a bipartite graph

Bipartite graphs
• In any bipartite graph with bipartition X and Y,
Sum of degree of vertices of set X = Sum of degree of vertices of set Y
Maximum Number Of Edges-
Any bipartite graph consisting of ‘n’ vertices can have at most (1/4) x n2 edges.
Maximum possible number of edges in a bipartite graph on ‘n’ vertices = (1/4) x n2.

Problem 2
The maximum number of edges in a bipartite graph on 12 vertices is _________?
Solution-
We know, Maximum possible number of edges in a bipartite graph on ‘n’ vertices = (1/4) x n2.
Substituting n = 12, we get-
Maximum number of edges in a bipartite graph on 12 vertices
= (1/4) x (12)2
= (1/4) x 12 x 12
= 36
Therefore, Maximum number of edges in a bipartite graph on 12 vertices = 36.

Subgraphs
When edges and vertices are removed from a graph, without removing endpoints of any remaining edges, a smaller
graph is obtained. Such a graph is called a subgraph of the original graph.
A graph G1 = (V1, E1) is called a subgraph of a graph G(V, E) if V1(G) is a subset of V(G) and E1(G) is a subset of E(G)
such that each edge of G1 has same end vertices as in G.
A subgraph of a graph G = (V, E) is a graph H =(V’, E’) where V’ is a subset of V and E’ is a subset of E
Application example: solving sub-problems within a graph

Union and Intersection
Given two graphs G1 and G2, the task is to find the union and intersection of the two given graphs,
i.e. (G1 ∪ G2) and (G1 ∩ G2).

Complement of Graph
The complement of a graph G is a graph G’ on the same set of vertices as of G such that there will be an
edge between two vertices (v, e) in G’, if and only if there is no edge in between (v, e) in G.
Complement of graph G(v, e) is denoted by G'(v, e’).
Note: The number of vertices remains unchanged in the complement of the graph.
Graph Complement Graph

Complement of Graph
Relation between G and G`:
1. Number of vertices in G = Number of vertices in G’.
|V(G)| = |V(G’)|
2. The sum of total number of edges in G and G’ is equal to the total number of edges in a complete
graph.
|E(G)| + |E(G’)|
= C(n,2)
= n(n-1) / 2

Problem
Problem-01:
A simple graph G has 10 vertices and 21 edges. Find total number of edges in its complement graph G’.
Solution-
Given-
Number of edges in graph G, |E(G)| = 21
Number of vertices in graph G, n = 10
We know |E(G)| + |E(G’)| = n(n-1) / 2.
21 + |E(G’)| = 10 x (10-1) / 2
|E(G’)| = 45 – 21
∴ |E(G’)| = 24
Thus, Number of edges in complement graph G’ = 24.

Representation
Graph representation, means the technique to be used to store some graph into the computer's memory.
There are two ways to store Graphs into the computer's memory:
1. Incidence (Matrix): Most useful when information about edges is more desirable than information
about vertices.
2. Adjacency (Matrix/List): Most useful when information about the vertices is more desirable than
information about the edges.
These two representations are also most popular since information about the vertices is often more
desirable than edges in most applications

Representation- Incidence Matrix
Representation of the Undirected Graph:
G = (V, E) be an unditected graph. Suppose that v1, v2, v3, …, vn are the vertices and e1, e2, …, em are the edges of
G. Then the incidence matrix with respect to this ordering of V and E is the n x m matrix
M = [m ij], where Can also be used to represent :
Incidence matrix also be used to represent Multiple edges and loops.
Multiple edges: by using columns with identical entries, because these edges are incident with the same pair
of vertices.
Loops: by using a column with exactly one entry equal to 1, corresponding to the vertex that is incident with
the loop

Representation of the directed Graph:
If a directed graph G consists of n vertices and m edges, then the incidence matrix is an n x m
matrix C = [cij] and defined by
The number of ones in an incidence matrix is equal to the number of edges in the graph.

Example
Consider the directed graph G as shown in fig. Find its incidence matrix MI.

Representation- Adjacency Matrix
Representation of the Undirected Graph:
 A Adjacency Matrix is a N*N binary matrix in which value of [i,j]th cell is 1 if there exists an edge originating
from ith vertex and terminating to jth vertex, otherwise the value is 0.
 There is an N x N matrix, where |V| = N , the Adjacenct Matrix (NxN) A = [aij]
For undirected graph
 For directed graph
 This makes it easier to find subgraphs, and to reverse graphs if needed.

Adjacency is chosen on the ordering of vertices. Hence, there as are as many as n! such matrices.
The adjacency matrix of simple graphs are symmetric (aij = aji) (why?)
When there are relatively few edges in the graph the adjacency matrix is a sparse matrix
Directed Multigraphs can be represented by using aij = number of edges from vi to vj

Example
Consider the directed graph shown in fig. Determine its adjacency matrix MA.
The directed graph G consists of five vertices. Therefore,
the adjacency matrix will be a 5 x 5 matrix.
The adjacency matrix of the directed graphs is as follows:

Representation- Adjacency List
Adjacency List specify the vertices that are adjacent to each vertex of the graph.
Each node (vertex) has a list of which nodes (vertex) it is adjacent
Example: undirected graph G (V, E)

Example Use adjacency lists to describe the graph given below

Graph - Isomorphism
The simple G1 = (V1, E2) and G2 = (V2, E2) are isomorphic if there is a one-to-one and
onto function f from V1 to V2 with the property that a and b are adjacent in G1 if and only if f
(a) and f (b) are adjacent in G2, for all a and b in V1. Such a function f is called isomorphism.
When two graphs G and G` are said to be isomorphic if there is a one-to-one
correspondence between their vertices and edges such that the adjacency of vertices are
preserved.
Such graphs will have the same structure, differencing only in the way of their vertices and
edges are labeled.

Graph - Isomorphism
Criteria for checking two graphs are isomorphic or not:-
1. Both graph have same number of Vertices .
2. Both graph have same number of edges.
3. Both graph have an equal number of vertices with a given degree.
4. one-to-one correspondence between the vertices of two graphs.
5. Edge preserving is also satisfied between two graphs (one-to-one correspondence ).
6. Smallest possible cycle length is same for two graphs.
7. Adjacency matrices of two graphs should be same.

k is an integer > 2 (why ?)
Representation example: G1 and G2 are isomorphic since we have the invariants, similarity in degree of
nodes, number of edges, length of circuits

Connectivity
Basic Idea: In a Graph Reachability among vertices by traversing the edges
Application Example:
- In a city to city road-network, if one city can be reached from another city.
- Problems if determining whether a message can be sent between two
computer using intermediate links
- Efficiently planning routes for data delivery in the Internet

Connectivity
Walk – A walk is a sequence of vertices and edges of a graph i.e. if we traverse a graph then we get a
walk. Beginning and ending with the same or different vertices.
Note: Vertices and Edges can be repeated.

Connectivity
Open walk- A walk is said to be an open walk if the starting and ending vertices are different i.e. the
origin vertex and terminal vertex are different.
Closed walk- A walk is said to be a closed walk if the starting and ending vertices are identical i.e. if a
walk starts and ends at the same vertex, then it is said to be a closed walk.
1->2->3->4->5->3 is an open walk.
1->2->3->4->5->3->1 is a closed walk.
Length of a walk: The total number of edges covered in a walk.
Ex. Ex 1- Length is 5

Connectivity
2. Trail –
Trail is an open walk in which no edge is repeated.
Vertex can be repeated
3. Circuit –
Traversing a graph such that not an edge is repeated but vertex can be repeated and it is closed walk.
i.e. it is a closed trail.
Vertex can be repeated.
Edge can not be repeated.
Here 1->2->4->3->6->8->3->1 is a circuit.

Connectivity
4. Path –
It is a trail in which neither vertices nor edges are repeated i.e. if we traverse a graph such that we do
not repeat a vertex and nor we repeat an edge. As path is also a trail, thus it is also an open walk.
Vertex not repeated
Edge not repeated
Here 6->8->3->1->2->4 is a Path

Connectivity
5. Cycle –
Traversing a graph such that we do not repeat a vertex nor we repeat a edge but the starting and ending
vertex must be same i.e. we can repeat starting and ending vertex only then we get a cycle.
Vertex not repeated
Edge not repeated
Here 1->2->4->3->1 is a cycle
Cycle is a closed path. These can not have repeat
anything (neither edges nor vertices).

Connectivity – Path
A Path is a sequence of edges that begins at a vertex of a graph and travels along edges of the graph,
always connecting pairs of adjacent vertices.
Representation example: G = (V, E), Path P represented, from u to v is {{u, 1}, {1, 4}, {4, 5}, {5, v}}

Connectivity – Path
Definition for Directed Graphs
A Path of length n (> 0) from u to v in G is a sequence of n edges e1, e2 , e3, …, en of G such that f (e1) = (xo, x1),
f (e2) = (x1, x2), …, f (en) = (xn-1, xn), where x0 = u and xn = v. A path is said to pass through x0, x1, …, xn or traverse
e1, e2 , e3, …, en
For Simple Graphs, sequence is x0, x1, …, xn
In directed multigraphs when it is not necessary to distinguish between their edges, we can use sequence of
vertices to represent the path
Circuit/Cycle: u = v, length of path > 0
Simple Path: does not contain an edge more than once

Connectivity – Connectedness
Undirected Graph
An undirected graph is connected if there exists is a simple path between every pair of vertices.
Representation Example: G (V, E) is connected since for V = {v1, v2, v3, v4, v5}, there exists a path between
{vi, vj}, 1 ≤ i, j≤ 5

Articulation Point (Cut vertex): removal of a vertex produces a subgraph with more connected components
than in the original graph. The removal of a cut vertex from a connected graph produces a graph that is not
connected
Cut Edge: An edge whose removal produces a subgraph with more connected components than in the original
graph.
Representation example: G (V, E), v3 is the articulation point or edge {v2, v3}, the number of connected
components is 2 (> 1)

Directed Graph
A directed graph is strongly connected if there is a path from a to b and from b to a whenever a and b
are vertices in the graph
A directed graph is weakly connected if there is a (undirected) path between every two vertices in the
underlying undirected path
A strongly connected Graph can be weakly connected but the vice-versa is not true (why?)

Counting Paths
Theorem: Let G be a graph with adjacency matrix A with respect to the ordering v1, v2, …, Vn (with directed on
undirected edges, with multiple edges and loops allowed). The number of different paths of length r from Vi to Vj,
where r is a positive integer, equals the (i, j)th entry of (adjacency matrix) Ar.
Proof: By Mathematical Induction.
Base Case: For the case N = 1, aij =1implies that there is a path of length 1. This is true since this corresponds to an edge between
two vertices.
We assume that theorem is true for N = r and prove the same for N = r +1. Assume that the (i, j)th entry of Ar is the number of
different paths of length r from vi to vj. By induction hypothesis, bik is the number of paths of length r from vi to vk.

Counting Paths
Case r +1: In Ar+1 = Ar. A,
The (i, j)th entry in Ar+1 , bi1a1j + bi2 a2j + …+ bin anj
where bik is the (i, j)th entry of Ar.
By induction hypothesis, bik is the number of paths of length r from vi to vk.
The (i, j)th entry in Ar+1 corresponds to the length between i and j and the length is r+1. This path is made up of
length r from vi to vk and of length from vk to vj. By product rule for counting, the number of such paths is bik* akj The
result is bi1a1j + bi2 a2j + …+ bin anj ,the desired result.

Euler - definitions
EULERIAN PATH is a path in a graph that visits every edge
exactly once.
Is it possible to draw a given graph without lifting pencil
from the paper and without tracing any of the edges more
than once”.

Euler - definitions
visits every edge exactly once.

Euler - definitions
EULERIAN CIRCUIT is an Eulerian Path that starts and ends on the same
vertex.
If there exists a walk in the connected graph that starts and ends at the
same vertex and visits every edge of the graph exactly once with or
without repeating the vertices, then such a walk is called as an Euler
circuit.
A graph will contain an Euler circuit if and only if all its vertices are of
even degree.
A graph is called Eulerian if it has an Eulerian Cycle .
A graph is called Semi-Eulerian if it has an Eulerian Path.

Euler Graph
An Euler Graph is a connected graph that contains an Euler Circuit.
Any connected graph is called as an Euler Graph if and only if all its vertices are of even degree.

Euler - definitions
Eulerian Cycle: An undirected graph has Eulerian cycle if following two conditions are true.
1. All vertices with non-zero degree are connected. We don’t care about vertices with zero degree because they
don’t belong to Eulerian Cycle or Path (we only consider all edges).
2. All vertices have even degree.
Eulerian Path: An undirected graph has Eulerian Path if following two conditions are true.
Same as condition (a) for Eulerian Cycle.
1. If zero or two vertices have odd degree and all
2. Other vertices have even degree.
Note that only one vertex with odd degree is not possible in an undirected graph (sum of all degrees is always even in
an undirected graph) Note that a graph with no edges is considered Eulerian because there are no edges to traverse.

Euler - definitions
An Eulerian path (Eulerian trail, Euler walk) in a graph is a path that uses each edge precisely once. If
such a path exists, the graph is called traversable.
An Eulerian cycle (Eulerian circuit, Euler tour) in a graph is a cycle that uses each edge precisely once. If
such a cycle exists, the graph is called Eulerian (also unicursal).
Representation example: G1 has Euler path a, c, d, e, b, d, a, b
a b
c d e

Hamiltonian Path
Hamiltonian path (also called traceable path) is a path that visits each vertex exactly once.
If there exists a walk in the connected graph that visits every vertex of the graph exactly once without
repeating the edges, then such a walk is called as a Hamiltonian path.
In Hamiltonian path, all the edges may or may not be covered but edges must not repeat.
A graph that contains a Hamiltonian path is called a traceable graph.

Hamiltonian Circuit
A Hamiltonian cycle (also called Hamiltonian circuit, vertex tour or graph cycle) is a cycle that visits each
vertex exactly once (except for the starting vertex, which is visited once at the start and once again at the
end).
If there exists a walk in the connected graph that visits every vertex of the graph exactly once (except
starting vertex) without repeating the edges and returns to the starting vertex, then such a walk is called
as a Hamiltonian circuit.
Any Hamiltonian cycle can be converted to a Hamiltonian path by removing one of its edges, but a
Hamiltonian path can be extended to Hamiltonian cycle only if its endpoints are adjacent.

Hamiltonian Graph
A graph that contains a Hamiltonian cycle is called a
Hamiltonian graph.
This graph contains a closed walk ABCDEFA.
It visits every vertex of the graph exactly once except starting
vertex.
The edges are not repeated during the walk.
Therefore, it is a Hamiltonian graph

KONIGSBERG BRIDGE PROBLEM IN GRAPH THEORY
 Konigsberg is the former name of a German city that is now in Russia.
 The following picture shows the inner city of Konigsberg with the river Pregel.
 The river Pregel divides the city into four land areas A, B, C and D.
 In order to travel from one part of the city to another, there exists seven bridges.

 Konigsberg Bridge Problem may be stated as-
 “Starting from any of the four land areas A, B, C, D, is it possible to cross each of the seven bridges
exactly once and come back to the starting point without swimming across the river?”
 In 1735, A Swiss Mathematician Leon hard Euler solved this problem.
 He provided a solution to the problem and finally concluded that such a walk is not possible..
 Euler represented the given situation using a graph as shown below-

In this graph,
1. Vertices represent the landmasses.
2. Edges represent the bridges
It was finally concluded that the desired walking tour of Konigsberg is not possible.
Then the citizens of Konigsberg decides to build an eighth bridge from A to C, then-
It would be possible to walk without traversing any bridge twice.
This is because then there will be exactly two odd vertices.

Shortest-Path Problems
Shortest-Path problems
◦ Single-source (single-destination). Find a shortest path from a given source (vertex s)
to each of the vertices. The topic of this lecture.
◦ Single-pair. Given two vertices, find a shortest path between them. Solution to single-
source problem solves this problem efficiently, too.
◦ All-pairs. Find shortest-paths for every pair of vertices. Dynamic programming
algorithm.
◦ Unweighted shortest-paths – BFS.

DIJKSTRA'S ALGORITHM
Dijkstra's Algorithm finds the shortest path between a given node (which is called the "source node")
and all other nodes in a graph.
This algorithm uses the weights of the edges to find the path that minimizes the total distance (weight)
between the source node and all other nodes.
Dijkstra's Algorithm can only work with graphs that have positive weights.

Traveling Salesman Problem
Given a number of cities and the costs of traveling from one to the other, what is the cheapest roundtrip
route that visits each city once and then returns to the starting city?
An equivalent formulation in terms of graph theory is: Find the Hamiltonian cycle with the least weight
in a weighted graph.
It can be shown that the requirement of returning to the starting city does not change the computational
complexity of the problem.
A related problem is the (bottleneck TSP): Find the Hamiltonian cycle in a weighted graph with the
minimal length of the longest edge.

Planar Graphs
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.
A graph which can be drawn in the plane so that its edges do not cross is called planare.
Application Example: VLSI design (overlapping edges requires extra layers), Circuit design (cannot overlap
wires on board)
Representation examples: K1,K2,K3,K4 are planar, Kn for n>4 are non-planar

Planar Graphs
Region of a Graph: Consider a planar graph G=(V,E). A region is defined to be an area of the plane that is
bounded by edges and cannot be further subdivided.
A planar graph divides the plans into one or more regions. One of these regions will be infinite.
Finite Region: If the area of the region is finite, then that region is called a finite region.
Infinite Region: If the area of the region is infinite, that region is called a infinite region. A planar graph
has only one infinite region.

Example
Example: Consider the graph shown in Fig. Determine the number of
regions, finite regions and an infinite region.
Solution: There are five regions in the above graph, i.e. r1,r2,r3,r4,r5.
There are four finite regions in the graph, i.e., r2,r3,r4,r5.
There is only one infinite region, i.e., r1

Planar Graphs
Properties of Planar Graphs:
1. If a connected planar graph G has e edges and r regions, then r ≤ e.
2. If a connected planar graph G has e edges, v vertices, and r regions, then v-e+r=2.
3. If a connected planar graph G has e edges and v vertices, then 3v-e≥6.
4. A complete graph Kn is a planar if and only if n<5.
5. A complete bipartite graph Kmn is planar if and only if m<3 or n>3.

Planar Graphs
Corollary 1: Let G = (V, E) be a connected simple planar graph with |V| = v, |E| = e > 2, and r regions.
Then 3r ≤ 2e and e ≤ 3v – 6
Proof: Since G is 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 ≥ 3.
Degree of region: No. of edges on its boundary; 1 edge may occur twice on boundary -> contributes 2 to
the region degree.
Each edge occurs exactly twice: either in the same region or in 2 different regions

Planar Graphs
Each edge occurs exactly twice: either in the same region or in 2 different regions
2e = sum of degree of r regions determined by 2e
2e ≥ 3r. (since each region has a degree of at least 3)
r ≤ (2/3) e
From Euler’s theorem, 2 = v – e + r
2 ≤ v – e + 2e/3
2 ≤ v – e/3
So 6 ≤ 3v – e
or e ≤ 3v – 6

Planar Graphs
Corollary 2: Let G = (V, E) be a connected simple planar graph then G has a vertex degree that does not
exceed 5
Proof: If G has one or two vertices the result is true
If G has 3 or more vertices then by Corollary 1, e ≤ 3v – 6
2e ≤ 6v – 12
If the degree of every vertex were at least 6:
by Handshaking theorem: 2e = Sum (deg(v))
 2e ≥ 6v. But this contradicts the inequality 2e ≤ 6v – 12
There must be at least one vertex with degree no greater than 5

Planar Graphs
Corollary 3: Let G = (V, E) be a connected simple planar graph with v vertices ( v ≥ 3) , e edges, and no
circuits of length 3 then e ≤ 2v -4
Proof: Similar to Corollary 1 except the fact that no circuits of length 3 imply that degree of region must
be at least 4.

GRAPH COLORING PROBLEM
Graph Coloring is also called as Vertex Coloring.
No two adjacent vertices are colored with the same color.
Graph Coloring is a process of assigning colors to the vertices of a graph.
Graph coloring is an assignment of "colors", almost always taken to be consecutive integers starting from
1 without loss of generality, to certain objects in a graph. Such objects can be vertices, edges, faces, or a
mixture of the above.
Application examples: Map Coloring, Scheduling the tasks, Preparing Time Table, Assignment, Conflict
Resolution, Sudoku

Chromatic Number is the minimum number of colors required to properly color any graph.
OR
Chromatic Number is the minimum number of colors required to color any graph such that no two adjacent vertices
of it are assigned the same color.
Chromatic number: least number of colors needed to color the graph
A graph that can be assigned a (proper) k-coloring is k-colorable, and it is k-chromatic if its chromatic number is
exactly k.

The problem of finding a minimum coloring of a graph is NP-Hard
The corresponding decision problem (Is there a coloring which uses at most k colors?) is NP-complete
The chromatic number for Cn = 3 (n is odd) or 2 (n is even), Kn = n, Km,n = 2
Cn: cycle with n vertices; Kn: fully connected graph with n vertices; Km,n: complete bipartite graph

C4

The Four color theorem: the chromatic number of a planar graph is no greater than 4
Example: G1 chromatic number = 3, G2 chromatic number = 4
(Most proofs rely on case by case analysis).
G1 G2

•No two adjacent vertices are colored with the same color.
•Minimum number of colors required to properly color the vertices = 3.
•Therefore, Chromatic number of this graph = 3.

Find chromatic number of the following graph-
Vertex a b c d e f g
Color C1 C2 C1 C3 C2 C3 C4
•Minimum number of colors used to color the given graph are 4.
•Therefore, Chromatic Number of the given graph = 4

Find chromatic number of the following graph-
Vertex a b c d e f
Color C1 C2 C3 C1 C2 C3
•Minimum number of colors used to color the given graph are 3.
•Therefore, Chromatic Number of the given graph = 3.
