Let Vn be the set of connected graphs having n edges, vertex set [n], and exactly one cycle. Form a graph Gn whose vertex set is Vn. Include {gn, hn} as an edge of Gn if and only if gn and hn differ by two edges, i.e. you can obtain one from the other by moving a single edge. Tell us anything you can about the graph Gn. For example, (a) How many vertices does it have? (b) Is it regular (i.e. all vertices the same degree)? (c) Is it connected? (d) What is its diameter?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given

Let Vn be the set of connected graphs having n edges, vertex set [n], and exactly one cycle. Form a graph Gn whose vertex set is Vn. Include gn,hn as an edge of Gn if and only if gn and hn differ by two edges, i.e. you can obtain one from the other by moving a single edge. Tell us anything you can about the graph Gn

Advanced Math homework question answer, step 2, image 1

Here number of vertices =number of edges.

Then only possible without multi edge with V=E is cycle.

Thus the graph is cycle.
