Prove sufficiency of the condition for a graph to be bipartite that is, prove that if G hasno odd cycles then G is bipartite as follows:Assume that the statement is false and that G is an edge minimal counterexample. That is, Gsatisfies the conditions and is not bipartite but G − e is bipartite for any edge e. (Note thatthis is essentially induction, just using different terminology.) What does minimality say aboutconnectivity of G? Can G − e be disconnected? Explain why if there is an edge between twovertices in the same part of a bipartition of G − e then there is an odd cycle

Que subgraph of G and every edge of G appears in exactly one subgraph H₂. Complete the proof below of the following statement by using induction on the number of edges: Recall that a graph G decomposes into graphs H₁, H2, ... , Ht if each H₂ is a Every even graph decomposes into cycles. Proof. We use induction on the number of edges in G, which we denote by m. Basis step: m = Induction step: Let G be an even graph with m edges, where m≥ 1, and assume that any even graph with fewer than m edges can be decomposed into cycles.

I have to prove the following Corollary: "Let u and v be vertices of a 2-connected graph G. Then there is a cycle of G that contains both u and v.” My idea of the proof is the following: Given vertices u and v, I want to show that there is a cycle containing both. Then by contradiction, I could assume that there exists u and v sucht that there are no cycles C including u and v. However, I'm not quite sure that this is the correct approach. I would appreciate some help to prove this corollary. Thank youuu
Prove that every graph G on {1,...n} which is acyclic and has n – 2 edges has exactly 2 connected components.
I want this to be considered as a Advanced Math question pls. . Consider a graph G which is a complete bipartite graph. The graph G is defined as K(3,4), meaning it has two sets of vertices, with 3 vertices in one set and 4 in the other. Every vertex in one set is connected to every vertex in the other set, but there are no connections within a set. Calculate the number of edges in graph G. Also, determine if the graph G contains an Euler path or circuit, and justify your answer.
