Solution Preview

Before considering each graph in turn, the two definitions we need for simple graphs and trees, we state as:

Definition: simple graph
A graph is simple when it has no loops and no two distinct edges have exactly the same pair of ends.

Definition: tree
A tree is defined as a *connected* graph that contains no simple closed paths (i.e. it has no polygons as subgraphs).

a. Graph, degrees: 1, 2, 3

This is possible by construction. (Note: there ...
