\theorem{}<eulerexists>
|
||||
A directed graph contains an Eulerian cycle iff...
|
||||
\begin{itemize}
|
||||
\item There is a path between every pair of nodes, and
|
||||
\item every node has as many \say{in} edges as it has \say{out} edges.
|
||||
\end{itemize}
|
||||
|
||||
If the a graph contains an Eulerian cycle, it must contain an Eulerian path. \note{(why?)} \par
|
||||
Some graphs contain an Eulerian path, but not a cycle. In this case, both conditions above must
|
||||
still hold, but the following exceptions are allowed:
|
||||
\begin{itemize}
|
||||
\item There may be at most one node where $(\text{number in} - \text{number out}) = 1$
|
||||
\item There may be at most one node where $(\text{number in} - \text{number out}) = -1$
|
||||
\end{itemize}
|
||||
We won't provide a proof of this theorem today. However, you should convince yourself that it is true:
|
||||
if any of these conditions are violated, why do we know that an Eulerian cycle (or path) cannot exist?

Let's quickly show that the process described in \ref{dbeuler}

indeed produces a valid De Bruijn word.

\problem{}<dblength>

How long will a word generated by the above process be?
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{solution}
|
||||
A De Bruijn graph has $2^n$ edges, each of which is traversed exactly once.
|
||||
The starting node consists of $n - 1$ letters.
|
||||
|
||||
\vspace{2mm}

Thus, the resulting word contains $2^n + n - 1$ symbols.

\begin{itemize}

\item We found that \ref{dbeuler} generates a word with length $2^n + n - 1$ in \ref{dblength}, \par
|
||||
\item and we showed that this word always solves the $n$-subword problem in \ref{dbsubset}.
|
||||
|
||||
\item From \ref{dbbounds}, we know that any solution to the binary $n$-subword problem \par
|
||||
must have at least $2^n + n - 1$ letters.
|
||||
|
||||
\item Finally, \ref{dbpath} guarantees that it is possible to generate such a word in any $G_n$.
|
||||
\end{itemize}
|
||||
|
||||
Thus, we have shown that the process in \ref{dbeuler} generates ideal solutions
|
||||
to the $n$-subword problem, and that such solutions always exist.
|
||||
We can now conclude that for any $n$, the binary $n$-subword problem may be solved with a word of length $2^n + n - 1$.
