SUMMARY POINTs
Eulerian trails and circuits :
1 .
Trail : A sequence of edges that passes through any edge at most once
2 .
Circuit : A trail that the starting vertex is the end vertex
3 .
Eulerian trail : A trail that passes through all edges of a graph
4 .
Eulerian circuit : A circuit that passes through all edges of a graph
5 .
An Eulerian trail exists if there exists two and only two vertices of odd
degree
6 .
An Eulerian circuit exists if all vertices are of even degree
7 .
Chinese postman problem can be used to find the route of minimum
weight that covers all edges of a graph
� Hamiltonian paths and cycles : 1 . Complete graph : A graph that there exists an edge for any pair of two vertices 2 . Hamiltonian path : A path that passes through all vertices of a graph 3 . Hamiltonian cycle : A cycle that passes through all vertices of a graph
� Travelling Salesman problem : 1 . Travelling Salesman problem can be used to find the cycle of minimum weight that passes through all vertices of a graph 2 . Nearest neighbour algorithm can be used to find the upper bound of the solution of a travelling salesman problem 3 . Deleted vertex algorithm can be used to find the lower bound of the solution of a travelling salesman problem
