A Graph of Convex Sets (GCS) is a graph in which vertices are associated with convex programs and edges couple pairs of programs through additional convex costs and constraints. Any optimization problem over an ordinary weighted graph…
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…
