It succeeds dramatically in its aims, which diestel gives as providing a reliable first introduction to graph theory that can be used for personal study or as a course text, and a graduate text that offers some depth in selected areas.

The origins of graph theory can be traced back to eulers work on the konigsberg. I think this should be a standard graph theory problem. Traversing an edge twice or more does not matter, but i need to start and end in the same node and get a sequence of edges transitions back. Given an arbitrary finite undirected graph, i want to compute a largestpossible set of disjoint edges in the graph that is, no two edges in the set share a vertex. Use features like bookmarks, note taking and highlighting while reading graph theory. A graph refers to a collection of nodes and a collection of edges that connect pairs of nodes. At first, the usefulness of eulers ideas and of graph theory itself was found. In other word, a graph is eulerian if it contains a walk that includes each edges exactly once and ends at the starting.

Graph connectivity theory are essential in network applications, routing transportation networks, network tolerance e. The directed graph edges of a directed graph are also called arcs. Now, i am curious to know if there is somewhere in the mare magnum of mathematics an extension of graph theory, let us call it provisionally the theory partial graphs it may have already a wellestablished name, in which case i apologize, which contemplates dangling edges ie edges which either stand alone, or are attached only to one node. Any cut determines a cutset, the set of edges that have one endpoint in each subset of the partition.
In 1969, the four color problem was solved heinrichby by using computer. In graph theory, a cut is a partition of the vertices of a graph into two disjoint subsets.
