Prove that an undirected graph is bipartite iff it contains no cycle whose length is odd (called simply an "odd cycle"). An undirected graph G = (V,E) is called "bipartite" when the vertices can be partitioned into two subsets V = V_1 u V_2 (with V_1 n V_2 = {}) such that every edge of G has one endpoint in V_1 and the other in V_2 (equivalently, no edge of G has both endpoints in V_1 or both endpoints in...
We now consider undirected graphs. Recall that such a graph is • connected iff for all pairs of nodes u, w, there is a path of edges between u and w; • acyclic iff for all pairs of nodes u, w, whenever there is an edge between u and w then there is no path Given an acyclic undirected graph G with n nodes (where n ≥ 1) and a edges, your task is to prove that a ≤ n...
Bipartite graph is a graph, which vertices can be partitioned into 2 parts - so that all edges connect only vertices from different parts. For example, this is a bipartite graph where one part has 3 vertices (a,b,c), and the other part - 4 vertices (d.e.f.g). Note there are NO edges in-between vertices coming from the same part. a b d f e g Give the order in which nodes are traversed with BFS. After listing a node, add its...
3. A Unicvcle Problem Prove that a cycle exists in an undirected graph if and only if a BFS of that graph has a cross-edge. (**) Your proof may use the following facts from graph theory . There exists a unique path between any two vertices of a tree. . Adding any edge to a tree creates a unique cycle.
Question 1# (a) Let G be a connected graph and C a non-trivial circuit in G. Prove directly that if an edge e fa, b is removed from C then the subgraph S C G that remains is still connected. "Directly' means using only the definitions of the concepts involved, in this case connected' and 'circuit'. Hint: If z and y are vertices of G connected by path that includes e, is there an alternative path connecting x to y...

Bounds on the number of edges in a graph. (a) Let G be an undirected graph with n vertices. Let Δ(G) be the maximum degree of any vertex in G, δ(G) be the minimum degree of any vertex in G, and m be the number of edges in G. Prove that δ(G)n2≤m≤Δ(G)n2
A spanning forest of an undirected graph Y is a forest Z whose nodes are the same as Y’s nodes, each of whose edges is also an edge of Y, and with the same path relation as Y. Prove that any undirected graph has a spanning forest.
Let G = (V, E) be a weighted undirected connected graph that contains a cycle. Let k ∈ E be the edge with maximum weight among all edges in the cycle. Prove that G has a minimum spanning tree NOT including k.
