  2. Eulerian path - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eulerian_path

    Following the edges in alphabetical order gives an Eulerian circuit/cycle. In graph theory, an Eulerian trail (or Eulerian path) is a trail in a finite graph that visits every edge exactly once (allowing for revisiting vertices). Similarly, an Eulerian circuit or Eulerian cycle is an Eulerian trail that starts and ends on the same vertex.

  3. Hamiltonian path - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamiltonian_path

    In the mathematical field of graph theory, a Hamiltonian path (or traceable path) is a path in an undirected or directed graph that visits each vertex exactly once. A Hamiltonian cycle (or Hamiltonian circuit) is a cycle that visits each vertex exactly once. A Hamiltonian path that starts and ends at adjacent vertices can be completed by adding ...

  4. Seven Bridges of Königsberg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Bridges_of_Königsberg

    Since the graph corresponding to historical Königsberg has four nodes of odd degree, it cannot have an Eulerian path. An alternative form of the problem asks for a path that traverses all bridges and also has the same starting and ending point. Such a walk is called an Eulerian circuit or an Euler tour. Such a circuit exists if, and only if ...

  5. Cycle basis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycle_basis

    The symmetric difference of two cycles is an Eulerian subgraph. In graph theory, a branch of mathematics, a cycle basis of an undirected graph is a set of simple cycles that forms a basis of the cycle space of the graph. That is, it is a minimal set of cycles that allows every even-degree subgraph to be expressed as a symmetric difference of ...

  6. Euler tour technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_tour_technique

    The Euler tour technique (ETT), named after Leonhard Euler, is a method in graph theory for representing trees. The tree is viewed as a directed graph that contains two directed edges for each edge in the tree. The tree can then be represented as a Eulerian circuit of the directed graph, known as the Euler tour representation (ETR) of the tree

  7. Cycle (graph theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycle_(graph_theory)

    A directed circuit is a non-empty directed trail (e 1, e 2, ..., e n) with a vertex sequence (v 1, v 2, ..., v n, v 1). A directed cycle or simple directed circuit is a directed circuit in which only the first and last vertices are equal. [1] n is called the length of the directed circuit resp. length of the directed cycle.

  8. Glossary of graph theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_graph_theory

    circuit A circuit may refer to a closed trail or an element of the cycle space (an Eulerian spanning subgraph). The circuit rank of a graph is the dimension of its cycle space. circumference The circumference of a graph is the length of its longest simple cycle. The graph is Hamiltonian if and only if its circumference equals its order. class 1.

  9. Chinese postman problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_postman_problem

    After corresponding edges are added (red), the length of the Eulerian circuit is found. In graph theory and combinatorial optimization , Guan's route problem , the Chinese postman problem , postman tour or route inspection problem is to find a shortest closed path or circuit that visits every edge of an (connected) undirected graph at least once.
