Directions: Show all work.

  1. [3 parts, 2 points each] Let G be the Petersen graph. Recall that V (G) is the set of 2-element subsets of {1,2,3,4,5} with 𝑢𝑣 E(G) if and only if u and v are disjoint.

    1. Is G bipartite? Prove your answer is correct.
    2. Recall that Pn is the path with n vertices. Let k be the maximum integer such that Pk is a subgraph of G. Determine k and find a copy of Pk as a subgraph of G. No proof required.

    3. Let t be the maximum integer such that Pt is an induced subgraph of G. Determine t and find a copy of Pt as an induced subgraph of G. No proof required.

  2. [2 parts, 2 points each] Graph Ramsey Problems.

    1. Prove that K5↛(P5,P5).
    2. Recall that Cn is the n-vertex cycle. Use the fact that K6 (C4,C4) to prove that K6 (P5,P5).
