Problem 1
Determine \(|V|\) for the following graphs or multigraphs \(G\). a) \(G\) has nine edges and all vertices have degree 3 . b) \(G\) is regular with 15 edges. c) \(G\) has 10 edges with two vertices of degree 4 and all others of degree 3 .
Problem 2
Show that when any edge is removed from \(K_{5}\), the resulting subgraph is planar. Is this true for the graph \(K_{3,3}\) ?
Problem 3
a) If the edges of \(K_{6}\) are painted either red or blue, prove that there is a red triangle or a blue triangle that is a subgraph. b) Prove that in any group of six people there must be three who are total strangers to one another or three who are mutual friends.
Problem 3
a) How many vertices and how many edges are there in the complete bipartite graphs \(K_{4,7}, K_{7,11}\), and \(K_{m, n}\), where \(m, n, \in \mathbf{Z}^{+} ?\) b) If the graph \(K_{m, 12}\) has 72 edges, what is \(m\) ?
Problem 4
Prove that any subgraph of a bipartite graph is bipartite.
Problem 6
Find all (loop-free) nonisomorphic undirected graphs with four vertices. How many of these graphs are connected?
Problem 6
Let \(V=\\{a, b, c, d, e, f\\}\). Draw three nonisomorphic loop-free undirected graphs \(G_{1}=\left(V, E_{1}\right), G_{2}=\left(V, E_{2}\right)\), and \(G_{3}=\left(V, E_{3}\right)\), where, in all three graphs, we have \(\operatorname{deg}(a)=3\), \(\operatorname{deg}(b)=\operatorname{deg}(c)=2\), and \(\operatorname{deg}(d)=\operatorname{deg}(e)=\operatorname{deg}(f)=1\).
Problem 6
Let \(n \in \mathbf{Z}^{+}\)with \(n \geq 4\). How many subgraphs of \(K_{n}\) are isomorphic to the complete bipartite graph \(K_{1,3}\) ?
Problem 7
a) For \(n \geq 3\), how many different Hamilton cycles are there in the complete graph \(K_{n}\) ? b) How many edge-disjoint Hamilton cycles are there in \(K_{21} ?\) c) Nineteen students in a nursery school play a game each day where they hold hands to form a circle. For how many days can they do this with no student holding hands with the same playmate twice?
