DEFINITIONS:
A simple graph has no "loops" and no "multiple" ("parallel") edges.
The degree of a vertex is the number of edges for which it is an endpoint
("incident" with it) .
A graph is bipartite if its vertices can be divided into two
(disjoint) sets so that each edge has
an endpoint in each set.
A graph is complete if each pair of vertices are joined by an
edge.
A graph is connected if each pair of vertices are joined by
(at least one) path.
1. Determine whether there is a simple graph of the type described,
and if so, find the number
of edges in such a graph.
i) A complete graph with 10 vertices.
ii) A graph with degrees 2 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 4 , 4 .
iii) A graph with degrees 2 , 2 , 2 , 4 , 4 , 4 .
iv) A bipartite graph with degrees 2 , 2 , 2 , 4 , 4 .
v) A connected graph with twice as many vertices as edges.
