[Note: the following statements are equivalent definitions of a "tree graph".] 4) Graph G is connected, but would become disconnected if any edge (u,v) E E is removed from G 5) Graph G is connected and has IV 1 edges 6) Graph G has no cycles and has |V| -1 edges.

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...
There are many equivalent definitions of a forest. Prove that the following conditions on a simple graph G re equivalent. A. G is acyclic. 3. Each component of G is a tree. . The number of components in G equals the number of vertices minus the number of edges. . For each u, v e V (G), there exists at most one u, v-path.

Problem 1: Given a graph G (V,E) a subset U S V of nodes is called a node cover if each edge in E is adjacent to at least one node in U. Given a graph, we do not know how to find the minimum node cover in an efficient manner. But if we restriet G to be a tree, then it is possible. Give a greedy algorithm that finds the minimum node cover for a tree. Analyze its correctness...
1) Professor Sabatier conjectures the following converse of Theorem 23.1. Let G=(V,E) be a connected, undirected graph with a real-valued weight function w defined on E. Let A be a subset of E that is included in some minimum spanning tree for G, let (S,V−S) be any cut of G that respects A, and let (u,v) be a safe edge for A crossing (S,V−S). Then, (u,v) is a light edge for the cut. Show that the professor's conjecture is incorrect...
Graph 2 Prove the following statements using one example for each (consider n > 5). (a) A graph G is bipartite if and only if it has no odd cycles. (b) The number of edges in a bipartite graph with n vertices is at most (n2 /2). (c) Given any two vertices u and v of a graph G, every u–v walk contains a u–v path. (d) A simple graph with n vertices and k components can have at most...
Let G=(V, E) be a connected graph with a weight w(e) associated with each edge e. Suppose G has n vertices and m edges. Let E’ be a given subset of the edges of E such that the edges of E’ do not form a cycle. (E’ is given as part of input.)
