In [[graph theory]], a part of [[discrete mathematics]], the '''BEST theorem''' gives a product formula for the number of [[Eulerian circuit]]s in [[directed graph|directed]] (oriented) [[Graph (mathematics)|graphs]].  The name is an acronym of the names of people who discovered it: [[N. G. de Bruijn|de '''B'''ruijn]], [[Tatyana Pavlovna Ehrenfest|van Aardenne-'''E'''hrenfest]], [[Cedric Smith (statistician)|'''S'''mith]] and [[W. T. Tutte|'''T'''utte]].
This is a preview for the new '''MathML rendering mode''' (with SVG fallback), which is availble in production for registered users.


== Precise statement ==
If you would like use the '''MathML''' rendering mode, you need a wikipedia user account that can be registered here [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:UserLogin/signup]]
Let ''G'' = (''V'', ''E'') be a directed graph.  An Eulerian circuit is a directed closed path which visits each edge exactly once.  In 1736, [[Leonhard Euler|Euler]] showed that ''G'' has an Eulerian circuit if and only if ''G'' is [[connected graph|connected]] and the [[Directed_graph#Indegree_and_outdegree|indegree]] is equal to [[Directed_graph#Indegree_and_outdegree|outdegree]] at every vertex.  In this case ''G'' is called Eulerian. We denote these in- and out-degree of a vertex ''v'' by deg(''v'').

The BEST theorem states that the number ec(''G'') of Eulerian circuits in a connected Eulerian graph ''G'' is given by the formula

\operatorname{ec}(G) = t_w(G) \prod_{v\in V} \bigl(\deg(v)-1\bigr)!.

</math>


Here ''t''<sub>''w''</sub>(''G'') is the number of [[Arborescence (graph theory)|arborescences]], which are [[tree (graph theory)|trees]] directed towards the root at a fixed vertex ''w'' in ''G''. The number ''t<sub>w</sub>(G)'' can be computed as a [[determinant]], by the version of the [[matrix tree theorem]] for directed graphs.  It is a property of Eulerian graphs that ''t''<sub>''v''</sub>(''G'')&nbsp;=&nbsp;''t''<sub>''w''</sub>(''G'') for every two vertices ''v'' and ''w'' in a connected Eulerian graph ''G''.

The BEST theorem was first stated in this form in a "note added in proof" to the  Aardenne-Ehrenfest and de Bruijn paper (1951). The original proof was [[bijective proof|bijective]] and generalized the [[de Bruijn sequence]]s.  It is a variation on an earlier result by Smith and Tutte (1941).

This is a preview for the new MathML rendering mode (with SVG fallback), which is availble in production for registered users.

If you would like use the MathML rendering mode, you need a wikipedia user account that can be registered here [[1]]

  • Only registered users will be able to execute this rendering mode.
  • Note: you need not enter a email address (nor any other private information). Please do not use a password that you use elsewhere.

Registered users will be able to choose between the following three rendering modes:

MathML

E=mc2


Follow this link to change your Math rendering settings. You can also add a Custom CSS to force the MathML/SVG rendering or select different font families. See these examples.

Demos
