Topic notes
In GATE CS, graph theory under Engineering Mathematics emphasizes structural properties, algebraic relationships, and topological invariants of simple undirected graphs. Questions frequently evaluate planar graph relationships using Euler's formula, chromatic numbers and edge coloring bounds (Vizing's theorem, independent set bounds), and degree-based properties (Handshaking lemma, Havel-Hakimi theorem). The focus has steadily migrated from direct formula applications to structural reasoning and algebraic characterizations such as matrix powers.
