Questions about the branch of combinatorics called graph theory (not to be used for questions concerning the graph of a function). This tag can be further specialized via using it in combination with more specialized tags such as extremal-graph-theory, spectral-graph-theory, algebraic-graph-theory, topological-graph-theory, random-graphs, graph-colorings and several others.

Given a Spanning Tree and an Edge Not on the Spanning Tree, How to Form a Cycle Base?

I think you're likely to get better answers if you post this question on Stack Overflow rather than here. But anyways, if your graph doesn't have weights on edges, you don't need Kruskal's algorithm …

Edge-disjoint shortest paths

Yes. Just pick the two paths (not necessarily edge disjoint) in G of shortest total length which together join the four vertices into two pairs. If they contained a common edge, you could remove tha …

Number of paths equal less than equal to a certain length

This problem seems to be NP-hard, in an informal sense. I'll sketch how we could use an algorithm for this problem to solve the knapsack problem. Suppose given $n$ objects with weights $w_1$, ..., $ …

Is there a free digraph associated to a graph?

I like to use the following definitions, which give a nonstandard definition of undirected graph but produce particularly nice categories. A directed graph is a pair of sets V and E together with …

@RobPratt's answer describes a good general-purpose approach. The specific case where edge weights are given by Euclidean distances is also a well-studied problem. The paper A Divide-and-Conquer Algor …
