Eulerian and Hamiltonian Graphs: Examples and Counterexamples

About this page
How statement and proof provenance work

The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.

  • Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
  • AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
  • AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.

These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

✓ 9 results · all verified · 0 also independently AI-judged
Every result on this page is machine-checked by a proof checker and read in full and owner-audited; the judge is an additional, independent cross-model AI review of the proofs. The 9 not AI-judged were verified by owner audit (typically over a confirmed judge false positive), not failures.

Example

The Konigsberg bridges multigraph has four odd-degree vertices and no Euler trail

Counterexample

Two triangles sharing one vertex form an Eulerian graph with no Hamilton cycle

Counterexample

K₄ is Hamiltonian but has no Euler circuit

Counterexample

P₃ has a Hamilton path but no Hamilton cycle

Counterexample

Two disjoint copies of Kₘ show that Dirac's bound cannot be lowered to n/2-1 for even n=2m≥4

Example

K_3,3 has a Hamilton cycle

Example

K₄ with one new vertex adjacent to two clique vertices satisfies Ore's condition but not Dirac's condition

Example

A transitive tournament has a directed Hamilton path and no directed cycle

Example

The directed 3-cycle is a strongly connected tournament with a directed Hamilton cycle
