The Königsberg bridges problem #

We show that a graph that represents the islands and mainlands of Königsberg and seven bridges between them has no Eulerian trail.

The vertices for the Königsberg graph; four vertices for the bodies of land and seven vertices for the bridges.

        The Königsberg graph structure. While the Königsberg bridge problem is usually described using a multigraph, the we use a "mediant" construction to transform it into a simple graph -- every edge in the multigraph is subdivided into a path of two edges. This construction preserves whether a graph is Eulerian.

        (TODO: once mathlib has multigraphs, either prove the mediant construction preserves the Eulerian property or switch this file to use multigraphs.
