Not every graph has an Eulerian tour. But every finite, strongly connected graph has a multi-Eulerian tour, which we define as a closed path that uses each directed edge at least once, and uses edges e and f the same number of times whenever tail(e) = tail(f). This definition leads to a simple generalization of the BEST Theorem. We then show that the minimal length of a multi-Eulerian tour is b...

We show that the problem of counting the number of Eulerian circuits in an undirected graph is complete for the class #P. The method employed is mod-p reduction from counting Eulerian orientations.

We characterize the graphs that admit a decomposition into circuits, i.e. finite or infinite connected 2-regular graphs. Moreover, we show that, as is the case for the removal of a closed eulerian subgraph from a finite graph, removal of a non-dominated eulerian subgraph from a (finite or infinite) graph does not change its circuit-decomposability or circuit-indecomposability. For cycle-decompo...

A graph G is supereulerian if it has a spanning eulerian subgraph. We prove that every 3-edge-connected graph with the circumference at most 11 has a spanning eulerian subgraph if and only if it is not contractible to the Petersen graph. As applications, we determine collections F1, F2 and F3 of graphs to prove each of the following (i) Every 3-connected {K1,3, Z9}-free graph is hamiltonian if ...

Let G = (V, A) be an Eulerian directed graph with an arclabeling. In this work we study the problem of finding an Eulerian circuit of lexicographically minimal label among all Eulerian circuits of the graph. We prove that this problem is NP-hard by showing a reduction from the Directed-Hamiltonian-Circuit problem. If the labeling of the arcs is such that arcs going out from the same vertex have...

Let G be an Eulerian directed graph with an arc-labeling such that arcs going out from the same vertex have di erent labels. In this work, we present an algorithm to construct the Eulerian trail starting at an arbitrary vertex v of minimum lexicographical label among labels of all Eulerian trails starting at this vertex. We also show an application of this algorithm to construct the minimal de ...

A directed graph is called Eulerian, if it contains a tour that traverses every arc in the graph exactly once. We study the problem of Eulerian Extension (EE) where a directed multigraph G and a weight function is given and it is asked whether G can be made Eulerian by adding arcs whose total weight does not exceed a given threshold. This problem is motivated through applications in vehicle rou...

A graph G is called even if O(G)=<, and G is called eulerian if G is even and connected. If G has a spanning eulerian subgraph, then G is called supereulerian, and we write G # SL. Tutte [19, 20] and Matthews [17] conjectured that if a 2-edge-connected graph G has no subgraph contractible to the Petersen graph, then G has a 3-colorable double cycle cover (i.e., a collection of three even subgra...

In this thesis we consider two sets of combinatorial structures defined on an Eulerian graph: the Eulerian orientations and Euler tours. We are interested in the computational problems of counting (computing the number of elements in the set) and sampling (generating a random element of the set). Specifically, we are interested in the question of when there exists an efficient algorithm for cou...
