Prove that a graph which contains a triangle cannot be bipartite

Before proof, we will define some basic terminologies. Bipartite Graph: A graph whose vertices can be divided into 2 disjoint sets such that no two vertices in the same set are adjacent to each other is called Bipartite Graph. Proof We can prove the given statement by contradiction. Suppose you have a bipartite graph G. …

Prove that a bipartite graph with an odd number of vertices is not hamiltonian

First we will define some basic terminologies. Bipartite Graph: A graph is bipartite if we can spit the vertices of the graph in two distinct sets V1 and V2 such that no edge connects vertices belonging to the same set. Hamiltonian Graph: A graph is hamiltonian if it contains a hamiltonian circuit. Hamiltonian circuit is …

Wheel Graph

A wheel graph is obtained by connecting a vertex to all the vertices of a cycle graph. It is denoted by Wn, for n > 3 where n is the number of vertices in the graph. A wheel graph of n vertices contains a cycle graph of order n – 1 and all the vertices …
