Universal Vertices

This file defines the set of universal vertices: those vertices that are connected to all others. In addition, it describes results when considering connected components of the graph where universal vertices are deleted. This particular graph plays a role in the proof of Tutte's Theorem.

Main definitions

• G.universalVerts is the set of vertices that are connected to all other vertices.
• G.deleteUniversalVerts is the subgraph of G with the universal vertices removed.

def SimpleGraph.universalVerts {V : Type u_1} (G : SimpleGraph V) : Set V

The set of vertices that are connected to all other vertices.

Equations

• G.universalVerts = {v : V | ∀ ⦃w : V⦄, v ≠ w → G.Adj w v}

theorem SimpleGraph.isClique_universalVerts {V : Type u_1} (G : SimpleGraph V) : G.IsClique G.universalVerts

def SimpleGraph.deleteUniversalVerts {V : Type u_1} (G : SimpleGraph V) : G.Subgraph

The subgraph of G with the universal vertices removed.

Equations

• G.deleteUniversalVerts = ⊤.deleteVerts G.universalVerts
