An Eulerian walk (or Eulerian trail) is a walk (resp. trail) that visits every edge of a graph $G$ at least (resp. exactly) once. This notion was first discussed by Leonhard Euler while solving the famous Seven Bridges of K\"{o}nigsberg…

We give a density condition for when, subject to a necessary parity condition, an eulerian graph or digraph may be cellularly embedded in an orientable surface so that it has exactly two faces, each bounded by an euler circuit, one of which…

Decomposing an Eulerian graph into a minimum respectively maximum number of edge disjoint cycles is an NP-complete problem. We prove that an Eulerian graph decomposes into a unique number of cycles if and only if it does not contain two…

Consider an undirected graph whose edges are labeled invertibly in a group. When does every Eulerian trail from one fixed vertex to another have the same label? We give a precise structural answer to this question. Essentially, we show that…

An Euler tour in a hypergraph is a closed walk that traverses each edge of the hypergraph exactly once, while an Euler family is a family of closed walks that jointly traverse each edge exactly once and cannot be concatenated. In this…

It is shown that Euler's theorem for graphs can be generalized for 2-complexes. Two notions that generalize cycle and Eulerian tour are introduced (``circlet'' and ``Eulerian cover''), and we show that for a strongly-connected, pure…

The detour between two points u and v (on edges or vertices) of an embedded planar graph whose edges are curves is the ratio between the shortest path in in the graph between u and v and their Euclidean distance. The maximum detour over all…

The Erd\H{o}s, Gr\"unwald, and Weiszfeld theorem is a characterization of those infinite graphs which are Eulerian. That is, infinite graphs that admit infinite Eulerian paths. In this article we prove an effective version of the Erd\H{o}s,…

For $\Delta$ a finite connected nontrivial directed multigraph, we prove: 1. $\Delta$ has a directed circuit using each directed edge exactly once if and only if both each pair of distinct vertices of $\Delta$ occur in a common directed…

An Eulerian orientation is an orientation of the edges of a graph such that every vertex is balanced: its in-degree equals its out-degree. Counting Eulerian orientations corresponds to the crucial partition function in so-called ``ice-type…

A finite simple graph is called a 2-graph if all of its unit spheres S(x) are cyclic graphs of length 4 or larger. A 2-graph G is Eulerian if all vertex degrees of G are even. An edge refinement of a graph splits an edge (a,b) to two edges…

By a tight tour in a $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$ we mean any sequence of its vertices $(w_0,w_1,\ldots,w_{s-1})$ such that for all $i=0,\ldots,s-1$ the set $e_i=\{w_i,w_{i+1}\ldots,w_{i+k-1}\}$ is an edge of $H$ (where operations on indices…

An undirected graph is Eulerian if it is connected and all its vertices are of even degree. Similarly, a directed graph is Eulerian, if for each vertex its in-degree is equal to its out-degree. It is well known that Eulerian graphs can be…

In 1965 Edmonds showed that every eulerian graph has a bi-eulerian embedding, i.e., an embedding with exactly two faces, each bounded by an euler circuit. We refine this result by giving conditions for a graph to have a bi-eulerian…

We suggest a measure of "Eulerianness" of a finite directed graph and define a class of "coEulerian" graphs. These are the graphs whose Laplacian lattice is as large as possible. As an application, we address a question in chip-firing posed…

A detour in a graph is a longest path. This thesis is mainly about connected, non-traceable graphs with the property that each vertex is the start (or end) vertex of a detour. There are also related results on claw-free, 2-connected,…

Let $G$ be a graph, and $H$ be a finite subgraph of $G$. We say that $H$ is a (semi) $S$-Eulerian subgraph if there exists a closed (open) trail $T$ in $G$ such that each edge of $H$ appears in $T$. We show that the problem of determining…
