T3.2: Prove that if the Graceful Tree Conjecture (every tree has a graceful labeling) is true and T' is a tree with m edges, then K2, decomposes into 2m - 1 copies of T. Hint - Delete a leaf to get 7" and apply the decomposition of K2(m-1)+1 = K2m-1 into T'. Then explain how the decomposition allows the pendant edge to be added to a new vertex to obtain a decomposition of K2m into copies of T.

Use the matrix tree theorem to determine the number of spanning trees of the graphs Kr∨sK1.These are the graphs formed by by adding all edges between a complete graph on r vertices and atrivial graph (no edges) on s vertices.

The maximum capacity spanning tree problem is as follows for a given graph G = (V, E) withcapacities c(uv) on the edges. The capacity of a tree T is defined as the minimum capacity of anedge in T. The maximum capacity spanning tree problem is to determine the maximum capacity ofa spanning tree.(i) Describe how to modify the input graph to find a maximum weight spanning tree making use ofa minimum weight spanning tree algorithm.(ii) Show that a maximum (weight) spanning tree is also a maximum capacity spanning tree.(iii) Is the converse of part (ii) true? That is, is it true that a maximum capacity spanning tree is alsoa maximum spanning tree? Either give counterexamples (of all sizes) or a proof.(iv) Prove the following max-min result. The maximum capacity of a spanning tree is equal to theminimum bottleneck value of a cut. For a subset U ⊆ V , the cut [U, V − U] is the set of edgesbetween U and V − U. The bottleneck value of a cut [U, V − U] is the largest capacity among theedges of…
