Paths A path is a sequence of edges that begins at a vertex of a graph and travels along edges of the graph, always connecting pairs of adjacent vertices. The path is a circuit if it begins and ends at the same vertex. The path or circuit is said to pass through the vertices or traverse the edges A path or circuit is simple if it does not contain the same edge more than once.

Counting Paths Between Vertices
Let G be a graph with adjacency matrix A. The number of different paths of length r from vi to vj, where r is a positive integer, equals the (i, j)th entry of Ar

Euler & Hamilton Paths Bridges of Konigsberg
11
Euler Circuit An Euler circuit in a graph G is a simple circuit containing every edge of G. An Euler path in G is a simple path containing every edge of G.
12
Necessary & Sufficient Conditions
A connected multigraph has an Euler circuit if and only if each of its vertices has even degree A connected multigraph has an Euler path but not an Euler circuit if and only if it has exactly two vertices of odd degree.
13
Hamilton Paths and Circuits
A Hamilton circuit in a graph G is a simple circuit passing through every vertex of G, exactly once. An Hamilton Path in G is a simple path passing through every vertex of G, exactly once.
14
Conditions If G is a simple graph with n vertices n>=3 such that the degree of every vertex in G is at least n/2, then G has a Hamilton circuit. If G is a simple graph with n vertices n>=3 such that deg(u)+deg(v)>=n for every pair of nonadjacent vertices u and v in G, then G has a Hamilton circuit.
