Solution:
Exercise 4
Suppose you are a salesman, and you need to visit each village once.
→ How to do it given the below graph representing connection
between villages?

Answer
Hamiltonian graph
there are 2 ways you can complete the
desired routes

And their reverse order

Total of 4 different travel itineraries.


Exercise 5

route only once. → How to do it given the below graph representing
roads that can be passed?

Exercise 7
is A Isomorphic ?
they are equivalent graphs just in different forms.
S

Graphs G and H are isomorphic if there is a structure that preserves


a one-to-one correspondence btw the vertices and edges.

→ The 2 graphs differ only by the names of the edges and vertices
but are structurally equivalent.

1- Method One – Checklist


Look at the two graphs below. Are they isomorphic?
Ask the following questions:

1. Are the number of vertices in both graphs the same?


Yes, both graphs have 4 vertices.
2. Are the number of edges in both graphs the same?
Yes, both graphs have 4 edges.
3. Is the degree sequence in both graphs the same?
Yes, each vertex is of degree 2.
4. If the vertices in one graph can form a cycle of length k, can
we find the same cycle length in the other graph?
Yes, each graph has a cycle of length 4.

if we can answer yes to all four of the above questions, then the
graphs are isomorphic.
¨2- Method Two – Relabeling

show the following two graphs are isomorphic.

First, we check vertices and degrees and confirm that both graphs have 5 vertices and
the degree sequence in ascending order is (2,2,2,3,3).

Now we methodically start labeling vertices by beginning with the vertices of degree 3
and marking a and b.
Label Odd Vertices
Next, we notice that in both
graphs, there is a vertex that is
adjacent to both a and b, so we
label this vertex c in both
graphs.

Label Adjacent Vertex


This now follows that there are two vertices
left, and we label them according to d and e,
where d is adjacent to a and e is adjacent to
b.
Label Remaining Vertices
And finally, we define our
isomorphism by relabeling
each graph and verifying
one-to-correspondence.
Exercise 8: check if a graph is bipartite using the 2-coloring method.

Given the following graphs, determine if they are bipartite using the 2-
coloring method:
Graph 1:
A -- B
| |
C -- D General Approach
To check if a graph is bipartite using the 2-coloring method:
1.Start with any vertex and color it with color 1.
Graph 2: 2.Color all adjacent vertices with color 2.
A -- B 3.Continue coloring the graph such that no two adjacent vertices
| | have the same color.
4.If you can color the entire graph without conflicts, the graph is
C -- D bipartite. If you encounter a conflict, the graph is not bipartite.
| |
E -- F
Solution
Graph 1:
1.Start with vertex A and color it with color 1.
2.Color vertex B (adjacent to A) with color 2.
3.Color vertex C (adjacent to A) with color 2.
4.Color vertex D (adjacent to B and C) with color 1.
The coloring is as follows:
•A: Color 1
•B: Color 2
•C: Color 2
•D: Color 1
Since no two adjacent vertices have the same color, Graph 1 is
bipartite.
Graph 2:
1.Start with vertex A and color it with color 1.
2.Color vertex B (adjacent to A) with color 2.
3.Color vertex C (adjacent to A) with color 2.
4.Color vertex D (adjacent to B and C) with color 1.
5.Color vertex E (adjacent to C) with color 1.
6.Color vertex F (adjacent to D and E) with color 2.
The coloring is as follows:
•A: Color 1
•B: Color 2
•C: Color 2 G is bipartite
•D: Color 1
•E: Color 1
•F: Color 2
Since vertex C and vertex D are adjacent and both have color 2, Graph
2 is not bipartite.
Exercise 8’ : Check if these graphs are bipartite graphs using 2-coloring
method.
