TopicGraph Theory Fundamentals
TypeAbstract shape and algorithm modeling
DifficultyModerate -0.5 This is a straightforward graph modeling question requiring students to translate between geometric shapes and graph representations. Part (i) involves routine conversion of visual tetromino shapes to graphs (counting edges between squares), while part (ii) requires the reverse process or recognizing impossibility. The concepts are basic D1 material with no complex algorithms or proofs required, making it slightly easier than average but not trivial since it requires careful spatial reasoning and understanding of graph fundamentals.

2 A tetromino is a two-dimensional shape made by joining four squares edge-to-edge. Joins are along complete edges.
  1. Represent each of the tetrominoes below by a graph in which the nodes represent the squares and two nodes are joined by an arc if the squares share a common edge. \begin{figure}[h]

    \end{figure} Two tetrominoes are regarded as being the same if one can be rotated or reflected to form the other. Derek claims that each tetromino corresponds to a unique tree with four nodes, and each tree with four nodes corresponds to a unique tetromino. Derek's claim is wrong.
  3. From the diagrams above, find:
    1. a tetromino whose graph does not correspond to a tree;
    2. two different tetrominoes whose graphs correspond to the same tree. A pentomino is a two-dimensional shape made by joining five squares edge-to-edge. Joins are along complete edges. Two pentominoes are regarded as being the same if one can be rotated or reflected to form the other. There are twelve distinct pentominoes.
    3. When the pentominoes are represented by graphs, as in part (i), there are only four distinct graphs. Draw these four graphs.
