Problem Set G

G1. Decompose into the fewest possible trails:
(a) Fig. 1.2.3 (left).
(b) Fig. 2.1.9.
(c) Fig. 2.2.6 (right).

G2. Decompose into the fewest possible paths: (a, b, c) from #G1.

G3. Decide whether the graph is Hamiltonian (i.e., has a Hamilton cycle):
(a) Fig. 2.1.3.
(b) Fig. 2.4.1, the Petersen graph.

G4. Verify that, in the proof of Theorem 2.3.2, the first two 1-factors unite to form a Hamilton cycle. Your proof should be valid for all n ≥ 2.
