Hamiltonian Graph
Hamiltonian Graph (Concentrate on Vertices)
·
A Hamiltonian graph is a type of graph that
contains a Hamiltonian cycle.
o
A Hamiltonian cycle is a cycle that visits each
vertex in the graph exactly once and returns to the starting vertex.
o
In simpler terms, it's a closed path that goes
through all the vertices of the graph without repeating any vertex, except for
the start and end vertices, which are the same.
·
Hamiltonian Graph:
o
A graph that contains a Hamiltonian cycle is
called a Hamiltonian graph.
o
Not all graphs are Hamiltonian.
o
The existence of a Hamiltonian cycle is a
property that depends on the specific structure and connectivity of the graph.
·
Hamiltonian Cycle:
o
A Hamiltonian cycle is a cycle in a graph that
visits every vertex exactly once and returns to the starting vertex.
o
If a graph contains a Hamiltonian cycle, it is
said to be Hamiltonian.
·
Hamiltonian Path:
o
A Hamiltonian path is similar to a Hamiltonian
cycle, but it is not a closed cycle. It is a path that visits each vertex
exactly once but does not necessarily return to the starting vertex.
·
·
In simple words:
·
It is a connected graph, with a closed walk,
where all each vertex will be visited once exactly once except terminal vertex.
