Euler’s Path and Circuit Theorems provide insight into the properties of graphs regarding vertex parity. A connected graph with exactly two odd vertices has an Euler path, commencing at one odd vertex and concluding at the other. Conversely, if a graph has more than two odd vertices, no Euler path exists. For Euler circuits, a connected graph with all even vertices ensures at least one exists. If any vertex is odd, no circuit is possible, demonstrating the critical relationship between vertex degree and graph traversal.

Euler’s Path Theorem If a graph is connected and has exactly two odd vertices then it is a Euler path. Any such path starts with an odd vertices and ends at the other one. If a graph has more than two odd vertices it CANNOT be a Euler path. Open Unicursal (start and end is different) **Euler proved that you cannot have a graph with just 1 odd vertex.**
Euler’s Circuit Theorem • If a graph is connected and every vertex is even then it has an Euler’s circuit (at least one). • If a graph has any odd vertices then it does not have an Euler’s Circuit • Closed Unicursal • Even means you have as many edges coming in as you have leaving the vertex
