Theorem	fusgrvtxdgonume 29701*	The number of vertices of odd degree is even in a finite simple graph. Proposition 1.2.1 in [Diestel] p. 5. See also remark about equation (2) in section I.1 in [Bollobas] p. 4. (Contributed by AV, 27-Dec-2021.)

17.2.11  Regular graphs With df-rgr 29704 and df-rusgr 29705, 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 29741), because {𝑔 ∣ ∀𝑣 ∈ (Vtx‘𝑔)((VtxDeg‘𝑔)‘𝑣) = 0} is not a set (see rgrprcx 29739). 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 29746. 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 29837): 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 29860): 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 29861): 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 29917): A walk whose endvertices coincide is called a closed walk, i.e., p(0) = p(n). * Circuits (df-crcts 29932): "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 29933): 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 30346): 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 3940 and elopabran 5530 to the mentioned theorems to obtain the following subset relationships, as available for clwlkiswlk 29920, see clwlkwlk 29921 and clwlkswks 29922): * Trails are walks (trliswlk 29842): (Trails‘𝐺) ⊆ (Walks‘𝐺) * Paths are trails (pthistrl 29869): (Paths‘𝐺) ⊆ (Trails‘𝐺) * Simple paths are paths (spthispth 29870): (SPaths‘𝐺) ⊆ (Paths‘𝐺) * Closed walks are walks (clwlkiswlk 29920): (ClWalks‘𝐺) ⊆ (Walks‘𝐺) * Circuits are closed walks (crctisclwlk 29940): (Circuits‘𝐺) ⊆ (ClWalks‘𝐺) * Circuits are trails (crctistrl 29941): (Circuits‘𝐺) ⊆ (Trails‘𝐺) * Cycles are paths (cyclispth 29943): (Cycles‘𝐺) ⊆ (Paths‘𝐺) * Cycles are circuits (cycliscrct 29945): (Cycles‘𝐺) ⊆ (Circuits‘𝐺) * (Non-trivial) cycles are not simple paths (cyclnspth 29947): (𝐹 ≠ ∅ → (𝐹(Cycles‘𝐺)𝑃 → ¬ 𝐹(SPaths‘𝐺)𝑃)) * Eulerian paths are trails (eupthistrl 30359): (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 14524, 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 29976 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 30022. 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 29977): n = N * WSPathsN (simple paths of length N as word, df-wspthsn 29979): p(i) =/= p(j) if i =/= j and n = N * ClWWalks (closed walks as word, df-clwwlk 30130): p(0) = p(n) * ClWWalksN (closed walks of length N as word, df-clwwlkn 30173): 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 29747): 𝐹(𝐴(WalksOn‘𝐺)𝐵)𝑃 * Trails with particular endpoints (df-trlson 29838): 𝐹(𝐴(TrailsOn‘𝐺)𝐵)𝑃 * Paths with particular endpoints (df-pthson 29862): 𝐹(𝐴(PathsOn‘𝐺)𝐵)𝑃 * Simple paths with particular endpoints (df-spthson 29863): 𝐹(𝐴(SPathsOn‘𝐺)𝐵)𝑃 * Walks of a fixed length 𝑁 as words with particular endpoints (df-wwlksnon 29978): (𝐴(𝑁 WWalksNOn 𝐺)𝐵) * Simple paths of a fixed length 𝑁 as words with particular endpoints (df-wspthsnon 29980): (𝐴(𝑁 WSPathsNOn 𝐺)𝐵) * Closed Walks of a fixed length 𝑁 as words anchored at a particular vertex 𝐴 (df-wwlksnon 29978): (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 29745. 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 29746, restricting s to 1. wlk1ewlk 29786 shows that such a 1-walk "on the vertex level" induces a 1-walk "on the edge level".

Definition	df-ewlks 29745*	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 29746*	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 29785) 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 29757. 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.)

Definition	df-wlkson 29747*	Define the collection of walks with particular endpoints (in a hypergraph).
