Problem 8. (2+4+4 points each) A bipartite graph G = (V. E) is a graph whose vertices can be partitioned into two (disjoint) sets V1 and V2, such that every edge joins a vertex in V1 with a vertex in V2. This means no edges are within V1 or V2 (or symbolically: Vu, v E V1. {u, u} &E and Vu, v E V2.{u,v} &E). 8(a) Show that the complete graph K, is a bipartite graph. 8(b) Prove that no...

9. Consider the graph in problem 8, call it G. a) Find at least one non-trivial graph automorphism on G. That is, find a graph isomorphism f:G -G. Show that there are bijective mappings g: V(G)-V(G) and h: E(G)-E(G).

Given the following weighted graph G. use Prim's algorithm to determine the Minimum-Cost Spanning Tree (MCST) with node 1 as the "root". List the vertices in the order in which the algorithm adds them to the solution, along with the edge and its weight used to make the selection, one per line. Each line should look like this: add vertex y: edge = (x,y), weight = 5 When the algorithm ends there are, generally, edges left in the heap. List...
6. Prove that the following graphs are connected: (a) The 3 vertex cycle: (b) The following 4 vertex graph: (c) K 7. An edge e of a connected graph G is called a cut edge if the graph G obtained by deleting that edge (V(G) V(G) and E(G) E(G) \<ej) is not connected. Prove that if G1 and G2 are connected simple graphs which are isomorphic and if G1 has a cut edge, then G2 also has a cut edge....
