d1 vocab Flashcards
eulerian graphs
all verticies are even. semi eulerian have exactly 2 odd vertices
a walk
route through the graph along edges from one vertix to the next
a path
a walk in which no vertex is visited more than once
a trail
a walk in which no edge is visited more than once
a cycle
a walk in which start and end vertex is the same and no other vertex is visited more than once
a hamiltonian cycle
a cycle than includes every vertex
handshaking lemma
in any undirected graph, the sum of the degrees of the vertices is equal to twice the number of edges (as a consequence, number of odd nodes must be even)
tree
connected graph with no cycles
spanning tree
a subgraph which includes all vertices of original graph and is also a tree
