Question
Show that if G is a simple graph with n vertices (where
n is a positive integer) and each vertex has degree greater than or
equal to "1, then the diameter of G is 2 or less.
If G is a (not necessarily simple) graph with n vertices
n-1

where each vertex has degree greater than or equal to ", is the
diameter of G necessarily 2 or less? Either prove that the answer to
this question is "yes" or give a counterexample.
