Theorem	finsumvtxdg2size 29619*	The sum of the degrees of all vertices of a finite pseudograph of finite size is twice the size of the pseudograph. See equation (1) in section I.1 in [Bollobas] p. 4. Here, the "proof" is simply the statement "Since each edge has two endvertices, the sum of the degrees is exactly twice the number of edges". The formal proof of this theorem (for pseudographs) is much more complicated, taking also the used auxiliary theorems into account. The proof for a (finite) simple graph (see fusgr1th 29620) would be shorter, but nevertheless still laborious. Although this theorem would hold also for infinite pseudographs and pseudographs of infinite size, the proof of this most general version (see theorem "sumvtxdg2size" below) would require many more auxiliary theorems (e.g., the extension of the sum Σ over an arbitrary set). I dedicate this theorem and its proof to Norman Megill, who deceased too early on December 9, 2021. This proof is an example for the rigor which was the main motivation for Norman Megill to invent and develop Metamath, see section 1.1.6 "Rigor" on page 19 of the Metamath book: "... it is usually assumed in mathematical literature that the person reading the proof is a mathematician familiar with the specialty being described, and that the missing steps are obvious to such a reader or at least the reader is capable of filling them in." I filled in the missing steps of Bollobas' proof as Norm would have liked it... (Contributed by Alexander van der Vekens, 19-Dec-2021.)

17.2.11  Regular graphs With df-rgr 29626 and df-rusgr 29627, k-regularity of a (simple) graph is defined as predicate RegGraph resp. RegUSGraph. Instead of defining a predicate, an alternative could have been to define a function that maps an extended nonnegative integer to the class of "graphs" in which every vertex has the extended nonnegative integer as degree: RegGraph = (𝑘 ∈ ℕ0* ↦ {𝑔 ∣ ∀𝑣 ∈ (Vtx‘𝑔)((VtxDeg‘𝑔)‘𝑣) = 𝑘}). This function, however, would not be defined at least for 𝑘 = 0 (see rgrx0nd 29663), because {𝑔 ∣ ∀𝑣 ∈ (Vtx‘𝑔)((VtxDeg‘𝑔)‘𝑣) = 0} is not a set (see rgrprcx 29661). It is expected that this function is not defined for every 𝑘 ∈ ℕ0* (how could this be proven?).

17.3  Walks, paths and cycles A "walk" in a graph is usually defined for simple graphs, multigraphs or even pseudographs as "alternating sequence of vertices and edges x0 , e1 , x1 , e2 , ... , e(l) , x(l) where e(i) = x(i-1)x(i), 0<i<=l.", see definition of [Bollobas] p. 4, or "A walk (of length k) in a graph is a nonempty alternating sequence v0 e0 v1 e1 ... e(k-1) vk of vertices and edges in G such that ei = { vi , vi+1 } for all i < k.", see definition of [Diestel] p. 10. Formalizing these definitions (mainly by representing the indexed vertices and edges by functions), a walk is represented by two mappings f from { 1 , ... , n } and p from { 0 , ... , n }, where f enumerates the (indices of the) edges (e is a third function enumerating the edges within the graph, not within the walk), and p enumerates the vertices, see df-wlks 29668. Hence a walk (of length n) is represented by the following sequence: p(0) e(f(1)) p(1) e(f(2)) ... p(n-1) e(f(n)) p(n). Alternatively, one could define a walk as a function 𝑤:(0...(2 · 𝑛))⟶((Edg‘𝐺) ∪ (Vtx‘𝐺)) such that for all 0 ≤ 𝑘 ≤ 𝑛, (𝑤‘(2 · 𝑘)) ∈ (Vtx‘𝐺) and for all 0 ≤ 𝑘 ≤ (𝑛 − 1), (𝑤‘((2 · 𝑘) + 1)) ∈ (Edg‘𝐺) and {(𝑤‘(2 · 𝑘)), (𝑤‘((2 · 𝑘) + 2))} ⊆ (𝑤‘((2 · 𝑘) + 1)). Based on our definition of Walks, the class of all walks, more restrictive constructs are defined: * Trails (df-trls 29759): A "walk is called a trail if all its edges are distinct.", see Definition of [Bollobas] p. 5, i.e., f(i) =/= f(j) if i =/= j. * Paths (df-pths 29782): A path is a walk whose vertices except the first and the last vertex are distinct, i.e., p(i) =/= p(j) if i < j, except possibly when i = 0 and j = n. * SPaths (simple paths, df-spths 29783): A simple path "is a walk with distinct vertices.", see Notation of [Bollobas] p. 5, i.e., p(i) =/= p(j) if i =/= j. * ClWalks (closed walks, df-clwlks 29839): A walk whose endvertices coincide is called a closed walk, i.e., p(0) = p(n). * Circuits (df-crcts 29854): "A trail whose endvertices coincide (a closed trail) is called a circuit." (see Definition of [Bollobas] p. 5), i.e., f(i) =/= f(j) if i =/= j and p(0) = p(n). Equivalently, a circuit is a closed walk with distinct edges. * Cycles (df-cycls 29855): A path whose endvertices coincide (a closed path) is called a cycle, i.e., p(i) =/= p(j) if i =/= j, except i = 0 and j = n, and p(0) = p(n). Equivalently, a cycle is a closed walk with distinct vertices. * EulerPaths (Eulerian paths, df-eupth 30268): An Eulerian path is "a trail containing all edges [of the graph]" (see definition in [Bollobas] p. 16), i.e., f(i) =/= f(j) if i =/= j and for all edges e(x) there is an 1 <= i <= n with e(x) = e(f(i)). Note, however, that an Eulerian path needs not be a path. * Eulerian circuit: An Eulerian circuit (called Euler tour in the definition in [Diestel] p. 22) is "a circuit in a graph containing all the edges" (see definition in [Bollobas] p. 16), i.e., f(i) =/= f(j) if i =/= j, p(0) = p(n) and for all edges e(x) there is an 1 <= i <= n with e(x) = e(f(i)). Hierarchy of all kinds of walks (apply ssriv 3925 and elopabran 5516 to the mentioned theorems to obtain the following subset relationships, as available for clwlkiswlk 29842, see clwlkwlk 29843 and clwlkswks 29844): * Trails are walks (trliswlk 29764): (Trails‘𝐺) ⊆ (Walks‘𝐺) * Paths are trails (pthistrl 29791): (Paths‘𝐺) ⊆ (Trails‘𝐺) * Simple paths are paths (spthispth 29792): (SPaths‘𝐺) ⊆ (Paths‘𝐺) * Closed walks are walks (clwlkiswlk 29842): (ClWalks‘𝐺) ⊆ (Walks‘𝐺) * Circuits are closed walks (crctisclwlk 29862): (Circuits‘𝐺) ⊆ (ClWalks‘𝐺) * Circuits are trails (crctistrl 29863): (Circuits‘𝐺) ⊆ (Trails‘𝐺) * Cycles are paths (cyclispth 29865): (Cycles‘𝐺) ⊆ (Paths‘𝐺) * Cycles are circuits (cycliscrct 29867): (Cycles‘𝐺) ⊆ (Circuits‘𝐺) * (Non-trivial) cycles are not simple paths (cyclnspth 29869): (𝐹 ≠ ∅ → (𝐹(Cycles‘𝐺)𝑃 → ¬ 𝐹(SPaths‘𝐺)𝑃)) * Eulerian paths are trails (eupthistrl 30281): (EulerPaths‘𝐺) ⊆ (Trails‘𝐺) Often, it is sufficient to refer to a walk by the natural sequence of its vertices, i.e., omitting its edges in its representation: p(0) p(1) ... p(n-1) p(n), see the corresponding remark in [Diestel] p. 6. The concept of a Word, see df-word 14476, is the appropriate way to define such a sequence (being finite and starting at index 0) of vertices. Therefore, it is used in definition df-wwlks 29898 for WWalks, and the representation of a walk as sequence of its vertices is called "walk as word". Only for simple pseudographs, however, the edges can be uniquely reconstructed from such a representation. In this case, the general definitions of walks and the definition of walks as words are equivalent, see wlkiswwlks 29944. In other cases, there could be more than one edge between two adjacent vertices in the walk (in a multigraph), or two adjacent vertices could be connected by two different hyperedges involving additional vertices (in a hypergraph). Based on this definition of WWalks, the class of all walks as word, more restrictive constructs are defined analogously to the general definition of a walk: * WWalksN (walks of length N as word, df-wwlksn 29899): n = N * WSPathsN (simple paths of length N as word, df-wspthsn 29901): p(i) =/= p(j) if i =/= j and n = N * ClWWalks (closed walks as word, df-clwwlk 30052): p(0) = p(n) * ClWWalksN (closed walks of length N as word, df-clwwlkn 30095): p(0) = p(n) and n = N Finally, there are a couple of definitions for (special) walks ⟨𝐹, 𝑃⟩ having fixed endpoints 𝐴 and 𝐵: * Walks with particular endpoints (df-wlkson 29669): 𝐹(𝐴(WalksOn‘𝐺)𝐵)𝑃 * Trails with particular endpoints (df-trlson 29760): 𝐹(𝐴(TrailsOn‘𝐺)𝐵)𝑃 * Paths with particular endpoints (df-pthson 29784): 𝐹(𝐴(PathsOn‘𝐺)𝐵)𝑃 * Simple paths with particular endpoints (df-spthson 29785): 𝐹(𝐴(SPathsOn‘𝐺)𝐵)𝑃 * Walks of a fixed length 𝑁 as words with particular endpoints (df-wwlksnon 29900): (𝐴(𝑁 WWalksNOn 𝐺)𝐵) * Simple paths of a fixed length 𝑁 as words with particular endpoints (df-wspthsnon 29902): (𝐴(𝑁 WSPathsNOn 𝐺)𝐵) * Closed Walks of a fixed length 𝑁 as words anchored at a particular vertex 𝐴 (df-wwlksnon 29900): (𝐴(ClWWalksNOn‘𝐺)𝑁)
17.3.1  Walks A "walk" within a graph is usually defined for simple graphs, multigraphs or even pseudographs as "alternating sequence of vertices and edges x0 , e1 , x1 , e2 , ... , e(l) , x(l) where e(i) = x(i-1)x(i), 0<i<=l.", see Definition of [Bollobas] p. 4. This definition requires the edges to connect two vertices at most (loops are also allowed: if e(i) is a loop, then x(i-1) = x(i)). For hypergraphs containing hyperedges (i.e. edges connecting more than two vertices), however, a more general definition is needed. Two approaches for a definition applicable for arbitrary hypergraphs are used in the literature: "walks on the vertex level" and "walks on the edge level" (see Aksoy, Joslyn, Marrero, Praggastis, Purvine: "Hypernetwork science via high-order hypergraph walks", June 2020, https://doi.org/10.1140/epjds/s13688-020-00231-0): "walks on the edge level": For a positive integer s, an s-walk of length k between hyperedges f and g is a sequence of hyperedges, f=e(0), e(1), ... , e(k)=g, where for j=1, ... , k, e(j-1) =/= e(j) and e(j-1) and e(j) have at least s vertices in common (according to Aksoy et al.). "walks on the vertex level": For a positive integer s, an s-walk of length k between vertices a and b is a sequence of vertices, a=v(0), v(1), ... , v(k)=b, where for j=1, ... , k, v(j-1) and v(j) are connected by at least s edges (analogous to Aksoy et al.). There are two imperfections for the definition for "walks on the edge level": one is that a walk of length 1 consists of two edges (or a walk of length 0 consists of one edge), whereas a walk of length 1 on the vertex level consists of two vertices and one edge (or a walk of length 0 consists of one vertex and no edge). The other is that edges, especially loops, can be traversed only once (and not repeatedly) because of the condition e(j-1) =/= e(j). The latter is avoided in the definition for EdgWalks, see df-ewlks 29667. To be compatible with the (usual) definition of walks for pseudographs, walks also suitable for arbitrary hypergraphs are defined "on the vertex level" in the following as Walks, see df-wlks 29668, restricting s to 1. wlk1ewlk 29708 shows that such a 1-walk "on the vertex level" induces a 1-walk "on the edge level".

Definition	df-ewlks 29667*	Define the set of all s-walks of edges (in a hypergraph) corresponding to s-walks "on the edge level" discussed in Aksoy et al. For an extended nonnegative integer s, an s-walk is a sequence of hyperedges, e(0), e(1), ... , e(k), where e(j-1) and e(j) have at least s vertices in common (for j=1, ... , k). In contrast to the definition in Aksoy et al., 𝑠 = 0 (a 0-walk is an arbitrary sequence of hyperedges) and 𝑠 = +∞ (then the number of common vertices of two adjacent hyperedges must be infinite) are allowed. Furthermore, it is not forbidden that adjacent hyperedges are equal. (Contributed by AV, 4-Jan-2021.)

Definition	df-wlks 29668*	Define the set of all walks (in a hypergraph). Such walks correspond to the s-walks "on the vertex level" (with s = 1), and also to 1-walks "on the edge level" (see wlk1walk 29707) discussed in Aksoy et al. The predicate 𝐹(Walks‘𝐺)𝑃 can be read as "The pair ⟨𝐹, 𝑃⟩ represents a walk in a graph 𝐺", see also iswlk 29679. The condition {(𝑝‘𝑘), (𝑝‘(𝑘 + 1))} ⊆ ((iEdg‘𝑔)‘(𝑓‘𝑘)) (hereinafter referred to as C) would not be sufficient, because the repetition of a vertex in a walk (i.e. (𝑝‘𝑘) = (𝑝‘(𝑘 + 1)) should be allowed only if there is a loop at (𝑝‘𝑘). Otherwise, C would be fulfilled by each edge containing (𝑝‘𝑘). According to the definition of [Bollobas] p. 4.: "A walk W in a graph is an alternating sequence of vertices and edges x0 , e1 , x1 , e2 , ... , e(l) , x(l) ...", a walk can be represented by two mappings f from { 1 , ... , n } and p from { 0 , ... , n }, where f enumerates the (indices of the) edges, and p enumerates the vertices. So the walk is represented by the following sequence: p(0) e(f(1)) p(1) e(f(2)) ... p(n-1) e(f(n)) p(n). (Contributed by AV, 30-Dec-2020.)
