Find the number of connected Eulerian graphs with 6 unlabelled vertices.

Draw each of them.

Note: I'm looking for a fast procedure don't comment just the numerical answer.

@shaikh see here we are talking about #edges to be connected and eulerian(graph) so minimum is 6 it cannot be 5 because u cannot reach back to starting node with 5 vertices as it will be a tree. (condition for eulerian graph)

atmost 15 because a complete graph will have 15 edges.

.

@mk utkarsh see the solution brother i have to really recall everything .

Best answer

for a graph to be an Eulerian

​​​​​​​1) it must start and end at same vertex with each edge covered exactly  once and 

2) the degree of each node must be of even degree.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

for a graph with #vertex= 6

possible degree values(to satisfy if its euler or not even degree sequences)=

{2,2,2,2,2,2} , {4,2,2,2,2,2}, {4,4,2,2,2,2} , { 4,4,4,2,2,2} , { 4,4,4,4,2,2} , {4,4,4,4,4,4}  #sequences =7 out of which only 3rd sequence {4,4,2,2,2,2} will have 2 different graphs.

#total =8

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

you can use Havel hakimi algorithm to check the validity of the degree sequence... i found each valid.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i tried each possible sequence but every graph i went for was ISOMORPHIC to the down mentioned 8 graphs.
