Original question and givens

The finite simple undirected graph has V=[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] and E=[[2, 1], [1, 0], [3, 0], [4, 0], [5, 0], [0, 6]]. Edges are unordered, with repeated listings normalized and no loops or absent endpoints. This is confirmed to be a nonempty tree. Give the unique path from 6 to 6 as an ordered vertex list, without repeating vertices.

  • G001 — The finite simple undirected graph has V=[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] and E=[[2, 1], [1, 0], [3, 0], [4, 0], [5, 0], [0, 6]]. Edges are unordered, with repeated listings normalized and no loops or absent endpoints. This is confirmed to be a nonempty tree. Give the unique path from 6 to 6 as an ordered vertex list, without repeating vertices.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.
