  1. I've just found the internet

  2. How does information travel across the internet? • TCP/IP • TCP wiki • IP wiki • Request generated by user (“click”) • Response sent as set of packets with time stamps • Receipt acknowledged • Response regenerated if ack not received.

  3. Bandwidth • Packets seek shortest/fastest path • Determined by number of hops • Queues form at hubs; bottlenecks can occur • Repeat requests can add to traffic

  4. Main problem • Determining the shortest path • Presumes: lookup table of possible routes • Presumes: knowledge of structure of internet • Mathematical structure: directed, weighted graph. • Other related problems: railroad networks, interstate network, google search problem, etc.

  5. Graph theory • A graph consists of: • set of vertices • A set of edges connecting vertex pair • Incidence matrix: which edges are connected

  6. The incidence matrix of a graph gives the (0,1)-matrix which has a row for each vertex and column for each edge, and (v,e)=1 iff vertex v is incident upon edge e

  7. These are all equivalent

  8. Euler and the Konigsberg bridges

  9. Types of graphs • Eulerian: circuit that traverses each edge exactly once • Which graphs possess Euler circuits?

  10. Problem: does this graph have an Euler cycle?

  11. Theorem: If every vertex has even degree then there is an Eulerian path

  12. What is a theorem? • A statement that no one can understand • A statement that only a mathematician can understand • A statement that can be verified from “first principles” • A statement that is “always true”

  13. Heuristic argument • An argument that appeals to intuition, but may not be compelling by itself. • In the case of the Eulerian graph theorem, think of the vertex as a room and the edges as hallways connecting rooms. • If you leave using one hallway then you have to return using a different one. • “Induction argument”

  14. Hamiltonian graph

  15. Hamilton’s puzzle: find a path in the dodecahedron graph that traverses each vertex exactly once

  16. Is the following graph Hamiltonian?

  17. Is the following graph Hamiltonian?

  18. Petersen graph: symmetry

  19. Graph colorings

  20. Other types of graphs

  21. Other properties • Diameter • Girth • Chromatic number • etc

  22. Graph coloring and map coloring • The four color problem

  23. Which continent is this?

  24. Boss’s dilemna • Six employees, A,B,C,D,E,F • Some do not get along with others • Find smallest number of compatible work groups

  25. Other examples of problems whose solutions are simplified using graph theory

  26. What does this graph have to do with the Boss’s dilemma?

  27. Complementary graph

  28. Complete subgraph • Subgraph: vertices subset of vertex set, edges subset of edge set • Complete: every vertex is connected to every other vertex.

  29. Complementary graph

  30. Handshakes, part 2 • There are several men and 15 women in a room. Each man shakes hands with exactly 6 women, and each woman shakes hands with exactly 8 men. • How many men are in the room?

  31. Visualize whirled peas • Samantha the sculptress wishes to make “world peace” sculpture based on the following idea: she will sculpt 7 pillars, one for each continent, placing them in circle. Then she will string gold thread between the pillars so that each pillar is connected to exactly 3 others. • Can Samantha do this?

  32. Some additional exercises in graph theory • There are 7 guests at a formal dinner party. The host wishes each person to shake hands with each other person, for a total of 21 handshakes, according to: • Each handshake should involve someone from the previous handshake • No person should be involved in 3 consecutive handshakes • Is this possible?

  33. Camelot • King Arthur and his knights wish to sit at the round table every evening in such a way that each person has different neighbors on each occasion. If KA has 10 knights, for how long can he do this? • Suppose he wants to do this for 7 nights. How many knights does he need, at a minimum?
