Problem Statement
Let be a simple connected graph. Each edge has two phases, which is either blue or red. Each vertex are switches that change the colour of every edge that connects the vertex. All edges are initially red. Find all ordered pairs , , such that:a) For all graph with vertex and edges, it is always possible to perform a series of switching process so that all edges are eventually blue.b) There exist a graph with vertex and edges and it is possible to perform a series of switching process so that all edges are eventually blue.
