Eulerian Graphs with Extremal Closeness
摘要
Closeness is a key structural measure used to evaluate the significance of a node in a network. An Eulerian cycle is a closed walk that visits every edge in a graph exactly once. A graph containing an Eulerian cycle is called an Eulerian graph. This paper addresses the problem of determining the graphs that maximize and minimize the closeness among Eulerian graphs of a fixed order. Specifically, we identify and characterize the graphs that achieve the maximum and minimum closeness values, respectively, within the class of Eulerian graphs of a given order.
