Theorem 20.19 Let \( D \mathrel{\text{:=}} D\left( {x, y}\right) \) be a connected directed graph. For any real number \( \mathrm{i} \), there exists a unique current flow in \( D \) of value \( \mathrm{i} \) from \( x \) to \( y \) .
Proof Let \( \mathbf{K} = {\mathbf{M}}_{y} \) be a Kirchhoff matrix of \( D \) . We assume that the first row of \( \mathbf{K} \) is indexed by \( x \) . By definition, a function \( f : A \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \) is a current flow of value i from \( x \) to \( y \) if it satisfies the two systems of equations:\n\n\[ ...

Consider the planar graph \( G \) in Figure 20.6a. On deleting the edge \( {xy} \) and orienting each remaining edge, as shown, we obtain the digraph \( D \) of Figure 20.6b.

Theorem 20.21 In any directed graph \( D \mathrel{\text{:=}} D\left( {x, y}\right) \), the functions \( f \) and \( g \) defined by (20.14) and (20.15) are equal. This function is therefore the unique current flow in \( D \) of value \( t\left( D\right) \) .
Proof Let \( T \) be a spanning tree of \( D \), and \( a \) an arc of the path \( P \mathrel{\text{:=}} {xTy} \) . Consider the spanning tree \( {T}^{\prime } \mathrel{\text{:=}} \left( {T \smallsetminus a}\right) + {a}^{\prime } \) of \( {D}^{\prime } \) .

Proof Add a new arc \( {a}^{\prime } \mathrel{\text{:=}} \left( {y, x}\right) \) to \( D \), so as to obtain a digraph \( {D}^{\prime } \) . By Theorem 20.21, \( g \mathrel{\text{:=}} \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{T}^{\prime }}{g}_{{T}^{\prime }} \) is the unique current flow of value \( t\left( D\right) \) . For any \( {xy}...

Corollary 20.23 If \( x \) and \( y \) are adjacent vertices of a digraph \( D \) ,
\[ {\mathrm{r}}_{xy} = \frac{{t}_{xy}\left( D\right) }{t\left( D\right) } \] Proof As in the proof of Theorem 20.22, one has \( {t}_{xy}\left( D\right) = \det {\mathbf{{LL}}}^{\mathbf{t}} \) . Also, \( t\left( D\right) = \) \( \det {\mathbf{{KK}}}^{\mathbf{t}} \) .

What is the probability that a drunkard eventually returns home, assuming that he takes a random walk on the two-dimensional integer lattice \( {\mathbb{Z}}^{2} \)?
Pólya (1921) proved that this probability is one, in other words, that the drunkard is sure to get back home eventually (despite his inebriated state).

Theorem 20.25 Let \( x \) and \( y \) be distinct vertices of a simple connected graph \( G \) . The probability \( {P}_{x} \) that a random \( x \) -walk on \( G \) hits \( y \) before returning to \( x \) is given by\n\n\[ \n{P}_{x} = \frac{1}{d\left( x\right) {\mathrm{r}}_{xy}} \n\]
Proof For \( v \in V \smallsetminus \{ x\} \), denote by \( {P}_{v} \) the probability that a random \( v \) -walk on \( G \) hits \( y \) before hitting \( x \) .

Theorem 21.5 A 2-edge-connected cubic graph admits a 3-flow if and only if it is bipartite.
Proof Let \( G \mathrel{\text{:=}} G\left\lbrack {X, Y}\right\rbrack \) be a bipartite cubic graph. By Theorem 17.2, \( G \) is 3- edge-colourable, so there exist three disjoint perfect matchings \( {M}_{1},{M}_{2} \), and \( {M}_{3} \) in \( G \) such that \( E = {M}_{1} \cup {M}_{2} \cup {M}_{3} \) .

By a simple inductive argument similar to the one used to demonstrate that the number of \( k \) -colourings is a polynomial in \( k \), one can derive the following implication of Theorem 21.6 (Exercise 21.2.4). What is striking here is that \( F\left( {G,\Gamma }\right) \) depends not on the structure of the group \(...

Theorem 21.9 Let \( G \) be a graph and let \( {k}_{1} \) and \( {k}_{2} \) be integers, where \( {k}_{i} \geq 2 \) , \( i = 1,2 \) . Then \( G \) admits a \( {k}_{1}{k}_{2} \) -flow if and only if \( G = {G}_{1} \cup {G}_{2} \), where \( {G}_{i} \) admits \( a{k}_{i} \) -flow, \( i = 1,2 \) .
Proof If \( G \) has a \( {k}_{1}{k}_{2} \) -flow, then it has a nowhere-zero circulation over \( {\mathbb{Z}}_{{k}_{1}{k}_{2}} \) , by virtue of Theorem 21.3. By Corollary 21.8, this implies that \( G \) has a nowhere-zero circulation \( f \mathrel{\text{:=}} \left( {{f}_{1},{f}_{2}}\right) \) over \( {\mathbb{Z}}_{{k...

Theorem 2.40. If the function \( f \) has continuous first partial derivatives in a neighborhood of \( c \) that satisfy the \( \mathrm{{CR}} \) equations at \( c \), then \( f \) is (complex) differentiable at \( c \) .
Proof. The theorem is an immediate consequence of (2.12), since in this case \( {f}_{\bar{z}}\left( c\right) = 0 \) and hence \( {f}^{\prime }\left( c\right) = {f}_{z}\left( c\right) \) .

Theorem 2.43. If \( f \) is holomorphic and real-valued on a domain \( D \), then \( f \) is constant.
Proof. As usual we write \( f = u + {uv} \) ; in this case \( v = 0 \) . The CR equations say \( {u}_{x} = {v}_{y} = 0 \) and \( {u}_{y} = - {v}_{x} = 0 \) . Thus \( u \) is constant, since \( D \) is connected.

Theorem 2.44. If \( f \) is holomorphic and \( {f}^{\prime } = 0 \) on a domain \( D \), then \( f \) is constant.
Proof. As above \( f = u + {\iota v} \) and \( {f}^{\prime } = {u}_{x} + \iota {v}_{x} = 0 \) . The last equation together with the CR equations say \( 0 = {u}_{x} = {v}_{y} \) and; \( 0 = {v}_{x} = - {u}_{y} \) . Thus both \( u \) and \( v \) are constant, since \( D \) is connected.

Consider the series \( \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n \geq 1}}{n}^{-s} \), with \( s \) a positive real number.
Using standard calculus techniques, one shows that\n\n\[\n\mathop{\lim }\limits_{{n \rightarrow \infty }}\frac{{\left( n + 1\right) }^{-s}}{{n}^{-s}} = 1 = \mathop{\lim }\limits_{{n \rightarrow \infty }}{\left( {n}^{-s}\right) }^{\frac{1}{n}};\n\]\n\nthus both the ratio and the root tests are inconclusive in this case.

Theorem 3.16 (Cauchy-Hadamard). The radius of convergence \( \rho \) of the power series \( \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n = 0}}^{\infty }{a}_{n}{z}^{n} \) is given by \[ \frac{1}{\rho } = \mathop{\lim }\limits_{n}{\left| {a}_{n}\right| }^{\frac{1}{n}} \]
Proof. Let \( L = \mathop{\lim }\limits_{n}{\left| {a}_{n}\right| }^{\frac{1}{n}} \) . Thus \( \mathop{\lim }\limits_{n}{\left| {a}_{n}{r}^{n}\right| }^{\frac{1}{n}} = {rL} \) for all \( r \geq 0 \), and we conclude by the root test that the associated series \( \sum \left| {a}_{n}\right| {r}^{n} \) converges for \( 0 ...

Theorem 3.22 (Abel’s Limit Theorem). Assume that the power series \( \sum {a}_{n}{z}^{n} \) has finite radius of convergence \( \rho > 0 \) . If \( \sum {a}_{n}{z}_{0}^{n} \) converges for some \( {z}_{0} \) with \( \left| {z}_{0}\right| = \) \( \rho \), then \( f\left( z\right) = \sum {a}_{n}{z}^{n} \) is defined for ...

Proposition 3.26. Let \( c \in \mathbb{C} \) . The function \( f\left( z\right) = c{\mathrm{e}}^{z} \) is the unique power series, and also the unique entire function, satisfying\n\n\[ \n{f}^{\prime }\left( z\right) = f\left( z\right) \text{ and }f\left( 0\right) = c.\n\]
Proof. It is trivial that \( z \mapsto c{\mathrm{e}}^{z} \) satisfies (3.5) and is the unique power series to do so; we already know that this is an entire function. We postpone the proof that this is the unique entire function that satisfies (3.5) until after we establish the next two propositions.

Theorem 5.27 (Cauchy's Integral Formula (Extended Version)). With the hypotheses as in the extended version of Cauchy's Theorem 5.26, we have\n\n\[ \n{2\pi }\imath f\left( c\right) = {\int }_{{\gamma }_{0}}\frac{f\left( z\right) }{z - c}\mathrm{\;d}z - \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{k = 1}}^{n}{\int }_{{\gamma }_{k}}\frac{f\l...

Theorem 5.30 (Maximum Modulus Principle). Suppose \( f \) is a continuous complex-valued function defined on a domain \( D \) in \( \mathbb{C} \) that has the MVP. If \( \left| f\right| \) has a relative maximum at a point \( c \in D \), then \( f \) is constant in a neighborhood of \( c \) .
