In this text book, discuss the connectivity of graphs. This book is intended as an introduction to graph theory. Given a graph, it is natural to ask whether every node can reach every other node by a path. With this in mind, we say that a graph is connected if for every pair of nodes, there is a path between them. It took 200 years before the first book on graph theory was written. You may use the case presented in class of even values of k, either by citation or imitation. Node 4 is not connected to any other node, because person 4 has no friends. Graph theory has abundant examples of npcomplete problems.
