(i) Let be a connected graph of order such that for any two vertices and ,
Show that if then has a path of length , and if then is Hamiltonian.
(ii) State and prove Hall's theorem.
[If you use any form of Menger's theorem, you must state it clearly.]
Let be a graph with directed edges. For , let
Find a necessary and sufficient condition, in terms of the sizes of the sets , for the existence of a set such that at every vertex there is exactly one incoming edge and exactly one outgoing edge belonging to .
