Eulerian digraphs

A digraph is Eulerian if there is a closed walk containing all vertices and edges, each edge exactly once. The following theorem gives a nice characterization of Eulerian digraphs, analogously to the Eulerian undirected graphs. The proof is very similar to the undirected case, so it is left as an exercise.

Exercise 27

Let GG be a digraph. Then, GG is Eulerian if and only if GG is weakly connected and deg+(v)=deg(v)\deg^+(v) = \deg^-(v) for all vVv \in V.
