1. (20 points) True or false. Justify. Every planar graph is 4-colorable /2 The number of edges in a simple graph G is bounded by n(n 1) where n is the number of vertices. The number of edges of a simple connected graph G is at least n-1 where n is the number of vertices. Two graphs are isomorphic if they have the same number of vertices and 1) the same mumber of edges

3. (8 pts) A graph is called planar if it can be drawn in the plane without any edges crossing. The Euler's formula states that v - etr = 2, where v, e, and r are the numbers of vertices, edges, and regions in a planar graph, respectively. For the following problems, let G be a planar simple graph with 8 vertices. (a) Find the maximum number of edges in G. (b) Find...
Problem 12.29. A basic example of a simple graph with chromatic number n is the complete graph on n vertices, that is x(Kn) n. This implies that any graph with Kn as a subgraph must have chromatic number at least n. It's a common misconception to think that, conversely, graphs with high chromatic number must contain a large complete sub- graph. In this problem we exhibit a simple example countering this misconception, namely a graph with chromatic number four that...
5. Let G is a simple planar graph containing no triangles. (i) Using Euler's formula, show that G contains a vertex of degree at most 3. (ii) Use induction to deduce that G is 4-colorable-(v).

2. (Graphs, degree sequence) If G is a simple graph with n vertices, then the degree sequence of G is a list a1, a2, a3, . . . , an of the degrees of all of the vertices of G in decreasing order. For instance, the degree sequence of the graph G drawn here is 3, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 1, 0. (a) Sketch a graph with the degree sequence 4, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1, and a graph...

Let an edge (p,q) that has the smallest (minimum) weight in a connected graph G=(V,E,w) where w is the weight function. Show that the edge (p,q) belongs to some minimum spanning tree of G.
What does it mean for two graphs to be the same? Let G and H be graphs. We Say that G is isomorphic to H provided there is a bijection f : V(G) rightarrow V(H) such that for all a middot b epsilon V(G) we have a~b (in G) if and only if f(a) ~ f(b) (in H). The function f is called an isomorphism of G to H. We can think of f as renaming the vertices of G...
(a) Given a graph G = (V, E) and a number k (1 ≤ k ≤ n), the CLIQUE problem asks us whether there is a set of k vertices in G that are all connected to one another. That is, each vertex in the ”clique” is connected to the other k − 1 vertices in the clique; this set of vertices is referred to as a ”k-clique.” Show that this problem is in class NP (verifiable in polynomial time)...
