Math Problem Statement
Is this euler path or circuit
Is this an Euler path or circuit?
Solution
To determine if this graph has an Euler path or an Euler circuit, we need to check the degrees of each vertex:
- Euler Path exists if a graph has exactly two vertices with an odd degree.
- Euler Circuit exists if all vertices have an even degree.
Step-by-Step Analysis
From the image:
- Vertex has degree 4.
- Vertex has degree 3.
- Vertex has degree 2.
- Vertex has degree 2.
- Vertex has degree 3.
Conclusion
- Euler Path: There are exactly two vertices with odd degrees (vertices and ), so this graph has an Euler path.
- Euler Circuit: Since not all vertices have an even degree, there is no Euler circuit.
This graph has an Euler path but not an Euler circuit.
