Let $G=(V, E)$ be an undirected unweighted connected graph. The diameter of $G$ is defined as: $\text{diam}(G)=\displaystyle \max_{u,v\in V} \{\text{the length of shortest path between$u$and$v$}\}$ Let $M$ be the adjacency matrix of $G$. Define graph $G_2$ on the same set of ... $\text{diam}(G_2) = \text{diam}(G)$ $\text{diam}(G)< \text{diam}(G_2)\leq 2\; \text{diam}(G)$

Consider the assertion: Any connected undirected graph $G$ with at least two vertices contains a vertex $v$ such that deleting $v$ from $G$ results in a connected graph. Either give a proof of the assertion, or give a counterexample (thereby disproving the assertion).

Your college has sent a contingent to take part in a cultural festival at a neighbouring institution. Several team events are part of the programme. Each event takes place through the day with many elimination rounds. Your contingent is multi-talented and each ... is: Find a maximum length simple cycle Find a maximum size independent set Find a maximum matching Find a maximal connected component

Let $G$ be a simple graph on $n$ vertices. Prove that if $G$ has more than $\binom{n-1}{2}$ edges then $G$ is connected. For every $n>2$, find a graph $G_{n}$ which has exactly $n$ vertices and $\binom{n-1}{2}$ edges, and is not connected.

Let $G=(V,E)$ be an undirected graph and $V=\{1,2,\cdots,n\}.$ The input graph is given to you by a $0-1$ matrix $A$ of size $n\times n$ as follows. For any $1\leq i,j\leq n,$ the entry $A[i,j]=1$ ... which any two vertices are connected to each other by paths. Give a simple algorithm to find the number of connected components in $G.$ Analyze the time taken by your procedure.

I have trouble understanding the difference between DAG and Multi-stage graph. I know what each of them is But I think that a multi-stage graph is also a DAG. Are multi-stage graphs a special kind of DAG?
Show that if the edge set of the graph $G(V,E)$ with $n$ nodes can be partitioned into $2$ trees, then there is at least one vertex of degree less than $4$ in $G$.
