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.

inductive konigsberg.verts  :
Type

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

def konigsberg.edges  :
list (konigsberg.verts × konigsberg.verts)

Each of the connections between the islands/mainlands and the bridges. These are ordered pairs, but the data becomes symmetric in konigsberg.adj.

Equations

def konigsberg.adj (v w : konigsberg.verts) :
bool

The adjacency relation for the Königsberg graph.

def konigsberg.graph  :
simple_graph konigsberg.verts

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.

To speed up the proof, this is a cache of all the degrees of each vertex, proved in konigsberg.degree_eq_degree.

The Königsberg graph is not Eulerian.
