Give an example of a graph G of order 6 and size 10 such that the minimum and maximum degree of a vertex are 3 and 4 respectively.
Let G be a 6-vertex graph whose list of vertex-deleted subgraphs (subgraphsobtained by deleting exactly one vertex) is as below. Determine G and justify your answer.
You have a simple graph G with three vertices and three edges. How many subgraphs can be made from the graph G?
In a high school class, there are students of different talents (ex. music, art, debate, sports, etc.). A committee needs to be formed consisting of the maximum number of students such that the committee is diverse – no two students with the same talent are in the committee. Transform this problem to a graph theoretic problem. What are the vertices of the graph? What are the edges of the graph? What do you have to find in the graph?
Among each pair of the CEOs of N companies there is (a) mutual like; (b) mutual dislike; (c) neutral feeling. A trade delegation of the maximum size needs to be formed such that it does not have any pair of members with mutual dislike. Transform this problem to a graph theoretic problem. What are the vertices of the graph? What are the edges of the graph? What do you have to find in the graph?
Use Graph Theory: Petros is mayor of a city where buildings are linked by roads. Any given pair of adjacent buildings are linked by exactly one road, and roads can be traversed in either direction. Furthermore, the city is connected in that one can reach any building from any other building by traversing some sequence of roads. Due to budget cuts, Petros has asked his lead architect Kik to shut down as many roads as possible while maintaining the city’s connectedness. Kik states that there are at least two distinct ways of doing this; that is, there are at least two distinct sets of roads that can be shut down to fulfill the mayor’s plan. Prove that if Kik is correct, the city must currently contain a cycle.
