Here's one way to define a Python function to create an Eulerian cycle in a graph:
main.py1110 chars37 lines
Explanation:
The input graph is represented as a dictionary where the keys represent the vertices and the values represent the edges.
The function initializes an empty cycle
list and a stack
list with the first vertex of the graph. It then enters a loop where it adds vertices to the stack until it reaches a dead end, meaning there are no more edges to visit from the current vertex. At this point, it pops the current vertex from the stack and appends it to the cycle. If there are still edges to follow, it continues to the next vertex.
Once all vertices have been visited, the code reverses the cycle to obtain a valid Eulerian cycle by starting and ending with the same vertex. Finally, the function checks that all edges have been visited and returns the cycle if it is valid, or None if there is no Eulerian cycle.
