  • We'll be proving Euler's theorem for connected plane graphs in today's graph theory lesson! Commonly know by the equation v-e+f=2, or in more common graph theory notation n-m+r=2, we'll prove this famous result using a minimum counterexample proof!
    The result states that, for connected plane graphs with n vertices, m edges, and r regions, n-m+r=2. This means no matter how we draw a connected planar graph in the plane, as long as our drawing has no edge crossings (as in - it is a plane graph), then n-m+r=2. For our proof by minimum counterexample, we will suppose our result doesn't hold and then consider a graph of minimum size that violates the result. By deleting an edge of this graph we will be able to find a contradiction. Many more details in the full video! You could also use induction on the size of the graph for a very similar proof.

    This is one of my favorite proofs and you've explained it beautifully! This is your best video yet! My only suggestion is to slow down your speech just a bit in future videos.

      It is a wonderful proof! Thanks a lot and I appreciate the feedback! I always try to monitor the speed of my voice, but sometimes I no doubt lose track of it. I've got to take more time to breathe - which will naturally slow me down a bit!

    Thank you again.
    I didn't get the part on the minimum size condition. If it is minimum, how can we remove one edge?

    Hi, thanks for this video. I have a question
    For the contradiction proof, are we assuming that n - m + r ≠ 2 is true for graph G with a minimum edges e? If that's the case, I don't understand how the G-e graph contradicts the n - m + r ≠ 2 because m-1 edges is already less than the minimum edges e so n - m + r ≠ 2 shouldn't apply to it

    • @ulissemini5492
      @ulissemini5492 3 роки тому

      because after showing that n - m + r for G equals n - m + r for G-e it contradicts n - m + r ≠ 2
      basically, so long as there are cycles you can delete an edge from a cycle while leaving the formula unchanged, I like to think of applying this over and over until you get to a tree (no cycles) where we've already proven it!

      let the vars of G-e be n', m' and r'
      so G-e holds n'-m'+r'=2
      now place the vars of G inside it
      n'-m'+r'=2=n-(m-1)+(r-1)
      and get n'-m'+r'=2=n-m+r
      so we did not change anything by deleting the edge regarding the formular
      we know the formular holds for G-e
      thus the formular holds for G aswell

    Dr, Could you please prove this question?
    Let G and H be connected graphs different from K1 and K2.Show that both factors are paths or one is a path and the other a cycle.

    Why do we remove an edge? When you use induction, aren't you supposed to go from k edges to k+1 edges?

  • @yeezyeez6326

    Hi why do we apply induction on m edges? Why not we apply induction on n vertices?

      The task at hand involves proving a statement about a cycle graph. To do this, a minimum counterexample approach is being used, wherein the smallest possible instance that does not satisfy the statement is being considered. In order to prove the statement, it is necessary to show a contradiction, in this case we show it by deleting the edge. The goal of this contradiction is to demonstrate that the statement is, in fact, true for all cycle graphs, and that the counterexample is invalid.
