Theorem 1.6 If a graph G contains a u-v walk of length l,then G contains a u-v path of length at most I. Proof.Among all u-vwalks in G,let P=(u=40,1,,uk=V) 还有其它证 be a u-vwalk of smallest length k.Therefore,k sI.We claim that p is a u-v path. 明方法吗? Assume,to the contrary,that this is not the case.Then some vertex of Gmust be repeated in P,sayufor some iandjwithssk.If we then delete the verticesu 2.from P,we arrive at the u-vwalk 图中定理的证 (u=0,1,,1-1,4=j,uj+1,…,4以=V) 明,多用如此 whose length is less than k,which is impossible.Therefore,as claimed,P is a u-vpath 的反证法、构 of length k≤l ■ 造法图中定理的证 明,多用如此 的反证法、构 造法 v 还有其它证 明方法吗?
