What is the solution of exactly 2 cycles and size 5?
A square with one diagonal has two cycles of length three, and one cycle of length four, giving 3 cycles in total.
A bow tie with 5 vertices also has 3 cycles.
A cycle in a graph is usually defined to not have any duplicated vertices (apart from ending where it started), in which case a bow tie has only two cycles.
Thanks
I’ve added a note near the top now to clarify that “cycles” don’t have repeated vertices.
Thanks for the comment/question, I think the post is better for the change I made as a result.
