1 MATH 100 Survey of Mathematics Fall The Highway Inspector s Problem The Königsberg Bridges over the river Pregel C c d e A g D a B b Figure 1. Bridges f Is there a path that crosses every bridge exactly once? Leonhard Euler ( )
2 2 Abstraction and mathematical modeling. What is relevant to the question? Which features can be ignored in order to simplify the problem? C c d e A D a b f B Figure 2. Euler s Model Result. An Euler path has one starting point and one terminal point. All four points on Euler s graph must be starting points or end points of an Euler path. This is impossible. There is no Euler path.
3 A new field is born: Graph Theory. 3 What is graph theory? Describe and classify all graphs (too hard). Which important properties do graphs have? (degree, connectivity, completeness, loops) Describe and classify certain graphs. Graphsareusedtopresentdatainanefficienteasytoread fashion: Organizational chart, networks, scheduling multitasking, precedence graphs, storing and retrieving data. Definitions. A graph consists of a(finite) set of points, called vertices and certain lines between vertices called edges. Definition. The degree of a vertex in a graph is the number of vertices ending (or starting) at the vertex.
4 4 2. The Traveling Salesman Problem The problem of the highway inspector. The highway inspector wishes to traverse every highway exactly once. The problem of the traveling salesman. A salesman wishes to visit the towns of his district in such a way that he visitseachtownexactlyonce. Canhedoit? Howwillhechoose his route? Definition 2.1. A Hamilton path is a path that includes each vertex of the graph once and only once. A Hamilton circuit is a circuit that includes each vertex of the graph once and only once except that starting point and end point coincide. Proposition 2.2. The highway inspector s problem and the traveling salesman s problem are different. Proof. Example 6.1. Remark 2.3. While the highway inspector s problem has a nice and easy solution, the traveling salesman s problem is unsolved. Therefore, consider special cases. Hunch: The more roads, the better the chance for the traveling salesman.
5 Definition 2.4. A graph with N vertices is complete if every two distinct vertices are joint by an edge. Notation: K N. Theorem 2.5. (1) The complete graph K N has N(N 1)/2 edges. (2) Of all graphs with N vertices that have no loops or multiple edges, the complete graph has the most edges. Theorem 2.6. There are (N 1)! distinct Hamilton circuits in K N. Dirac s Theorem. Suppose that the district of the traveling salesman contains at least three towns and let N be the number of towns. If every town has at least N/2 streets ending in it, then there is a route for the traveling salesman. 5 Portland Boise Butte Sacramento Reno Salt Lake City Figure 3
