Hamiltonian Path

StarStarStarStar

A Hamiltonian Path is a path that visits each vertex of a graph exactly once. Existence conditions: No easy necessary and sufficient conditions, but Dirac's and Ore's theorems give sufficient conditions for Hamiltonian Paths in certain graphs.

Dirac's Theorem

StarStarStarStar

Dirac's Theorem provides a condition for the existence of a Hamiltonian Circuit in a graph. It states that if a graph has n3n \geq 3 vertices, and every vertex has degree at least n2\frac{n}{2}, then the graph has a Hamiltonian Circuit.

StarStarStarStar

Semi-Hamiltonian Graph

StarStarStarStar

A Semi-Hamiltonian Graph has a Hamiltonian Path but not a Hamiltonian Circuit. Existence conditions: Sufficient conditions are similar to Hamiltonian Graphs but less restrictive, often related to graph connectivity and degree sequences.

StarStarStarStar

Hamiltonian Circuit

StarStarStarStar

A Hamiltonian Circuit is a Hamiltonian Path that starts and ends at the same vertex, forming a cycle. Existence conditions: No easy necessary and sufficient conditions exist, but a graph needs to be sufficiently connected to have a Hamiltonian Circuit.

StarStarStarStar

Hamilton's Theorem

StarStarStarStar

Hamilton's Theorem is a hypothesized theorem suggesting certain conditions under which a Hamiltonian Circuit would exist in a graph. It is important to note that no such general theorem has been proven.

Euler's Theorem for Graphs

StarStarStarStar

Euler's Theorem states that a connected graph possesses an Eulerian Circuit if and only if every vertex has an even degree.

StarStarStarStar

Eulerian Path

StarStarStarStar

An Eulerian Path is a path that uses each edge of a graph exactly once. Existence conditions: For a connected graph, if exactly 0 or 2 vertices have odd degree, an Eulerian Path exists.

StarStarStarStar

Semi-Eulerian Graph

StarStarStarStar

A Semi-Eulerian Graph has an Eulerian Path but not an Eulerian Circuit. Existence conditions: The graph is connected and exactly two vertices have an odd degree.

StarStarStarStar

Eulerian Circuit

StarStarStarStar

An Eulerian Circuit is an Eulerian Path that starts and ends on the same vertex, thus forming a cycle. Existence conditions: For a connected graph, an Eulerian Circuit exists if and only if all vertices have even degree.

StarStarStarStar

Ore's Theorem

StarStarStarStar

Ore's Theorem is a criterion for the existence of a Hamiltonian Circuit in a graph. It states that if a graph has n3n \geq 3 vertices, and for every pair of non-adjacent vertices uu and vv, the sum of their degrees is at least nn, then the graph has a Hamiltonian Circuit.
