Graph Theory

This group gathers theorems about graphs, the structures of points joined by lines that model networks, maps and relations. It covers the colouring of graphs and maps, planar graphs and their forbidden subgraphs, matchings and flows, paths and Hamiltonian and Eulerian cycles, trees and spanning trees, and extremal questions about how many edges a graph can have. A theorem belongs here when its cited article places it in graph theory or states a result about graphs, their vertices and their edges.

Kruskal's Tree Theorem (Wikipedia)
Wikimedia FoundationHas Member: Kruskal's Tree Theorem, Lead

In mathematics, Kruskal's tree theorem states that the set of finite trees over a well-quasi-ordered set of labels is itself well-quasi-ordered under homeomorphic embedding.

Tutte homotopy theorem (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Tutte Homotopy Theorem, Lead
Quote, Has Member: Tutte Homotopy Theorem, Lead
In mathematics, Tutte's homotopy theorem, introduced by Tutte (1958), generalises the concept of "path" from graphs to matroids, and states roughly that closed paths can be written as compositions of elementary closed paths, so that in some sense they are homotopic to the trivial closed path.
