Question 1

What does Dirac's Theorem state?

  • The sum of the degrees of non-adjacent vertices is always less than n.
  • A connected graph is Hamiltonian if every vertex has degree at least n/2.
  • All Eulerian graphs are Hamiltonian.

💡 Hint: Focus on the degree condition related to connected graphs.

Question 2

True or False: Ore's condition is more restrictive than Dirac's.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the flexibility in vertex degree comparisons.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a connected graph of 8 vertices where each vertex has a degree of 4, is the graph Hamiltonian? Explain with reference to Dirac's Theorem.

💡 Hint: Check if the vertex degrees meet the necessary condition.

Question 2

Construct a graph with 6 vertices that satisfies Ore's condition yet lacks a Hamiltonian circuit. Demonstrate how.

💡 Hint: Consider what non-adjacency and degree sums indicate toward connectivity.
