Graph theory problem and connected components












0












$begingroup$



In a connected graph $G$ where degree of every vertex $v$ is even, show that $Gsetminus v$ has at most $dfrac{1}{2}deg(v)$ connected components.




$Gsetminus v$ is the graph which is left after removing $v$ and all of its incident edges from $G$.

          The graph $G$ is Eulerian. Fix any Eulerian cycle on $G$. It is easy to see, when we remove $v$ from $G$, the cycle will be cut into at most $frac 12deg v$ parts, each of which is connected. Since each connected component of $Gsetminus{v}$ is a union of these parts, there are at most $frac 12deg v$ components.

            The graph $G$ is Eulerian. Fix any Eulerian cycle on $G$. It is easy to see, when we remove $v$ from $G$, the cycle will be cut into at most $frac 12deg v$ parts, each of which is connected. Since each connected component of $Gsetminus{v}$ is a union of these parts, there are at most $frac 12deg v$ components.
