CS 1813 Discrete Mathematics, Univ Oklahoma Copyright © 2000 by Rex Page 3 Bridges of Königsberg Must the route have a matching exit to each land mass for each entry? For a particular land mass, can the total number of entries and exits be and odd number? Can there be an odd number of bridges to a land mass with an even entry/exit count? So, there must be either no land masses with an odd number of bridges, or exactly two. Right? How many land masses have an odd number of bridges? Problem Find a route that crosses each bridge exactly once TILT Adapted from Singh, Fermat’s Enigma, Walker & Co, 1997

CS 1813 Discrete Mathematics, Univ Oklahoma Copyright © 2000 by Rex Page 4 Tracing a Square and Its Diagonals If it’s possible to do such a tracing, how many corners will have an odd number of lines emanating from them? None. Or two, right? Square + Diagonals Problem  Start at any corner  Trace some line to another corner  Then trace from that corner to another  Keep going until all six lines are traced  Don’t trace any line more than once TILT Euler solved the bridges of Königsberg problem in the 1700s. The field of graph theory includes problems of this kind.

CS 1813 Discrete Mathematics, Univ Oklahoma Copyright © 2000 by Rex Page 11 Truth Table – Logical Implication  False iff 1 st operand is True and 2 nd False  Define P = x  10, Q = x  0  Consider x = 15, x = 5, and x = -5  P  Q is True, regardless of x’s value That is, third line in table does not occur  Q  P is False when x is between 0 and 10 So, line 3 in table sometimes applies to this formula  This confirms intuition about inference We expect to infer Q, knowing P (P  Q is True) But not vice versa (cannot always infer P, knowing Q) P Q P  Q False False True False True True True False False True True True

CS 1813 Discrete Mathematics, Univ Oklahoma Copyright © 2000 by Rex Page 19 Why Reasoning with Truth Tables Is Infeasible  Works fine when there are 2 variables  {T,F}  {T,F} = set of potential values of variables  2  2 lines in truth table  Three variables — starts to get tedious  {T,F}  {T,F}  {T,F} = set of potential values  2  2  2 lines in truth table  Twenty variables — definitely out of hand  2  2  …  2 lines (2 20 )  You want to look at a million lines?  If you did, how would you avoid making errors?  Hundreds of variables — not in a million years
