4. Prof. Ashish Choudhury
The tutorial focuses on advanced graph theory concepts, particularly pertaining to vertex connectivity, edge connectivity, and overall graph construction using complete graphs. It elaborates on real-world applications through various problems, demonstrating how to construct graphs based on given connectivity constraints and exploring the Cartesian product of graphs. Additionally, it discusses coloring principles in graph theory and challenges assumptions regarding the properties of graph unions.

What we have learnt
- Graphs can be constructed based on specific vertex and edge connectivity requirements.
- The relationship between vertex connectivity, edge connectivity, and minimum degree is critical in graph construction.
- The Cartesian product of graphs allows for the combination of vertex sets and edge definitions from two separate graphs.
Key Concepts
- -- Vertex Connectivity
- The minimum number of vertices that must be removed to disconnect the remaining vertices from each other.
- -- Edge Connectivity
- The minimum number of edges that need to be removed to render the graph disconnected.
- -- Cartesian Product of Graphs
- A graph operation that creates a new graph whose vertex set consists of ordered pairs of vertices from the original two graphs, with edges defined based on specific connectivity conditions.
