CIRCUITS IN COMPLETE GRAPHS AND THEIR RELATIONS TO RAPIDLY-INCREASING SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

March 2008

 

ABSTRACT In graph theory, the number of circuits in a given graph is closely-related to special functions in mathematics, including the Gamma function г(x) and Reciprocal Beta function B-1(x,y). This paper investigates these rapidly-increasing functions and introduces a new function D(x,y), which provides a convenient means of evaluating in a single function the number of Hamilton and Euler circuits in a complete graph Kn.

COUNTING THE NUMBER OF EULER CIRCUITS IN COMPLETE GRAPHS

 

April 2008

 

ABSTRACT In graph theory, a long standing problem has involved finding a closed form expression for the number of Euler circuits in Kn. The solution presented here comprises a function D(x,y) that has several interesting applications in computing.

KEYWORDS Circuit, Development, D function, Euler. Aknowledgements Several colleagues and project students contributed to the results detailed in this paper, including Professor Wathek Talebaoui and Dr Mo Adda at Richmond, The American International University in London (UK), and Professor Brendan McKay at the Australian National University.
