RK4 Posted October 6, 2005 Posted October 6, 2005 Let C* be a set of edges of a graph G. Show that, if C* has an edge in common with each spanning forest of G, then C* contains a cutset. Obtain a corresponding result for cycles.
RK4 Posted October 6, 2005 Author Posted October 6, 2005 Let T_1 and T_2 be spanning trees of a connected graph G. (i) If e is any edge of T_1, show that there exists an edge f og T_2 such that the graph (T_1 - {e}) U {f} (obtained from T_1 on replacing e by f) is also a spanning tree. (ii). Deduce that T_1 can be 'transformed' into T_2 by replacing the edges of T_1 one at a time by edges of T_2 in such a way that a spanning tree is obtained at each stage.
Dave Posted October 6, 2005 Posted October 6, 2005 You're going to have to post some kind of problem with your version of the proof before we help out
