Proof: Connected Graph of Order n Has at least n-1 Edges | Graph Theory
A connected graph of order n has at least n-1 edges, in other words - tree graphs are the minimally connected graphs. We'll be proving this result in today's graph theory lesson!
We'll be using a special type of contradiction proof called a proof by minimum counterexample. If we assume that there is a graph contradicting our claim, we can consider one such graph of minimum order, then we will show that this "minimum order counterexample" is actually not a minimum order counterexample, producing a contradiction and proving our claim.
Connected graphs with one less edge than vertices NEVER have cycles, and connected graphs with no cycles are called tree graphs; check out these lesson on them...
