Problem 1

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
Let \(G=(V, E)\) be a connected undirected graph. a) What is the largest possible value for \(|V|\) if \(|E|=19\) and \(\operatorname{deg}(v) \geq 4\) for all \(v \in V\) ? b) Draw a graph to demonstrate each possible case in part (a).
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 10
a) Let \(G=(V, E)\) be a connected bipartite undirected graph with \(V\) partitioned as \(V_{1} \cup V_{2}\). Prove that if \(\left|V_{1}\right| \neq\left|V_{2}\right|\), then \(G\) cannot have a Hamilton cycle. b) Prove that if the graph \(G\) in part (a) has a Hamilton path, then \(\left|V_{1}\right|-\left|V_{2}\right|=\pm 1\). c) Give an example of a connected bipartite undirected graph \(G=(V, E)\), where \(V\) is partitioned as \(V_{1} \cup V_{2}\) and \(\left|V_{1}\right|=\left|V_{2}\right|-1\), but \(G\) has no Hamilton path.
