Euler's Theorem 2
For the existence of Eulerian paths it is necessary that no more than two
vertices have an odd degree; this means the Königsberg graph is not
Eulerian. If there are no vertices of odd degree, all Eulerian paths are
circuits. If there are exactly two vertices of odd degree, all Eulerian paths
start at one of them and end at the other. Sometimes a graph that has an
Eulerian path, but not an Eulerian circuit (in other words, it is an open path,
and does not start and end at the same vertex) is called semi-Eulerian.
