Problems
1. Show that every graph has at least two vertices with equal degree.
2. Every connected graph with all degrees even has an Eulerian circuit.
3. Prove that every finite, simple, planar graph has an orientation such that every vertex has outdegree
at most 3.
4. In a tournament with n players (n 4), each player plays against every other player once, and there
are no draws. Suppose that there are no four players (A, B, C, D) such that A beats B, B beats C,
C beats D and D beats A. Determine, as a function of n, the largest possible number of unordered
triples of players (A, B, C) such that A beats B, B beats C and C beats A.
5. (Diracs Theorem on Hamiltonian cycles) Let G be a graph on n vertices with all degrees at least n/2.
Show that G has a Hamiltonian cycle.
6. Find the smallest positive integer n such that for any n points (A1 , A2 , ...An ) chosen on a circle with
center O, out of the nC2 angles of the form Ai OAj , at least 1000 of these angles have measures no
greater than 120 .
7. There are 8 persons at a party. Suppose that for any 5 persons, there are 3 of them who know each
other. Show that there are 4 persons who know each other.
