Review from Last Week


1. Let O be a point inside equilateral traingle ABC. Let P , Q, and R be the intersections of AO with
Q QR RP
BP CQ 1.
BC, BO with CA, and CO with AB, respectively. Prove that PAR
2. Let P be a point in the interior of a triangle ABC, and let D, E, F be the point of intersection of the
line AP and the side BC of the triangle, of the line BP and the side CA, and of the line CP and
the side AB, respectively. Prove that the area of triangle ABC must be 6 if the area of each of the
triangles P F A, P DB, and P EC is 1.

Graph Theory Definitions


A simple graph is one in which each edge connects a distinct pair of vertices.
connected, degree d(v), tree
A graph is bipartite if its vertices can be split into two disjoint subsets such that edges run only between
vertices in different subsets.
The complete graph with n vertices, Kn , is the simple graph that has all possible edges.
paths, cycles, walks, circuits
Hamiltonian path/cycle, Eulerian circuit
A graph is planar if it can be drawn in a plane such that none of its edges intersect (except at vertices).
Planar graphs have faces. (Euler Characteristic: V E + F = 2.)

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.
