The complete bipartite graph K2,4 has an Eulerian circuit, but is non-Hamiltonian (in fact, it doesn't even contain a Hamiltonian path). Any Hamiltonian path would alternate colors (and there's not enough blue vertices). Since every vertex has even degree, the graph has an Eulerian circuit.
Important: An Eulerian circuit traverses every edge in a graph exactly once, but may repeat vertices, while a Hamiltonian circuit visits each vertex in a graph exactly once but may repeat edges.
An Eulerian graph G (a connected graph in which every vertex has even degree) necessarily has an Euler tour, a closed walk passing through each edge of G exactly once. This tour corresponds to a Hamiltonian cycle in the line graph L(G), so the line graph of every Eulerian graph is Hamiltonian.
A graph with a vertex of degree one cannot have a Hamilton circuit. Moreover, if a vertex in the graph has degree two, then both edges that are incident with this vertex must be part of any Hamilton circuit.
EULER'S THEOREM
If a graph has exactly two odd vertices, then it has at least one Euler path, but no Euler circuit.
The complete bipartite graph K2,4 has an Eulerian circuit, but is non-Hamiltonian (in fact, it doesn't even contain a Hamiltonian path). Any Hamiltonian path would alternate colors (and there's not enough blue vertices). Since every vertex has even degree, the graph has an Eulerian circuit.
Since the graph corresponding to historical Königsberg has four nodes of odd degree, it cannot have an Eulerian path. An alternative form of the problem asks for a path that traverses all bridges and also has the same starting and ending point. Such a walk is called an Eulerian circuit or an Euler tour.
We observe that not every graph is Hamiltonian; for instance, it is clear that a dis- connected graph cannot contain any Hamiltonian cycle/path. There are also connected graphs that are not Hamiltonian. For example, if a connected graph has a a vertex of degree one, then it cannot be Hamiltonian.
Not all graphs have a Hamilton circuit or path. There is no way to tell just by looking at a graph if it has a Hamilton circuit or path like you can with an Euler circuit or path. You must do trial and error to determine this. By the way if a graph has a Hamilton circuit then it has a Hamilton path.
The most natural way to prove a graph isn't Hamiltonian is to do a case by case analysis of possible paths, showing it doesn't work. For instance, in lecture we outlined the proof that if you remove a vertex from the Icosian graph, than the result isn't Hamiltonian.
Consider the complete graph on four vertices, as drawn below: The graph has a Hamiltonian circuit A → B → C → D → A which runs around the outside of the above diagram. However, all four vertices of have odd degree. Since has vertices of odd degree, does not have an Eulerian circuit.
To set the record clear: Yes. A Path can be both Eularian and Hamiltonian. A Hamiltonian path is a spanning path, and an Eularian path goes through each edge exactly once.
Nope. They are quite different. A Hamiltonian graph is one which has a Hamiltonian cycle. A Hamiltonian cycle is a cycle that visits every vertex of the graph exactly once.
A graph has an Euler circuit if and only if the degree of every vertex is even. A graph has an Euler path if and only if there are at most two vertices with odd degree.
Euler or Hamilton Paths
An Euler path is a path that passes through every edge exactly once. If the euler path ends at the same vertex from which is has started it is called as Euler cycle. A Hamiltonian path is a path that passes through every vertex exactly once (NOT every edge).
An Euler Path is a path that goes through every edge of a graph exactly once An Euler Circuit is an Euler Path that begins and ends at the same vertex. Euler's Theorem: 1. If a graph has more than 2 vertices of odd degree then it has no Euler paths.
A Hamilton Circuit is a Hamilton Path that begins and ends at the same vertex. *Unlike Euler Paths and Circuits, there is no trick to tell if a graph has a Hamilton Path or Circuit. A Complete Graph is a graph where every pair of vertices is joined by an edge.
The Petersen graph has a Hamiltonian path but no Hamiltonian cycle. It is the smallest bridgeless cubic graph with no Hamiltonian cycle.
Every bipartite graph has an Euler path. Every vertex of a bipartite graph has even degree. A graph is bipartite if and only if the sum of the degrees of all the vertices is even.
The vertices of K5 all have even degree so an Eulerian circuit exists, namely the sequence of edges 1,5,8,10,4,2,9,7,6,3 .
Solution. K 4 does not have an Euler path or circuit. K 5 has an Euler circuit (so also an Euler path). K 5 , 7 does not have an Euler path or circuit.
Answer = D Explanation: If some closed walk in a graph contains all the edges then the walk is called Euler. 32) Which of the following is not a type of graph ? Answer = D Explanation:Path is a way from one node no another but not a graph.
A Hamiltonian cycle in a graph is a cycle that visits every vertex at least once, and an Eulerian cycle is a cycle that visits every edge once. In general graphs, the problem of finding a Hamiltonian cycle is NP-hard, while finding an Eulerian cycle is solvable in polynomial time.
Some graphs lack both an Eulerian and a Hamiltonian cycle such as Star Graph. Star Graph contains no cycle.
Euler Graph - A connected graph G is called an Euler graph, if there is a closed trail which includes every edge of the graph G. Euler Path - An Euler path is a path that uses every edge of a graph exactly once. An Euler path starts and ends at different vertices.
