The following algorithm (written in pseudo-pascal) work on an undirected graph GG program Explore (G) procedure Visit (u) begin if Adj (u) is not empty {comment:Adj (u) is the list of edges incident to u} then begin Select an edge from Adj (u); Let edge be e=(u, v) remove e from Adj (u) and Adj (v); Visit (v); end else mark u as a finished vertex and remove u from LIST {Comment: LIST is the set of vertices in the graph} end; begin While LIST is not empty do begin Let v ∊ LIST; Visit (v); end end. Note: Initially Adj(u)Adj(u) is the list of all edges incident to uu and LIST is the set of all vertices in the graph. They are globally accessible. What kind of subgraphs are obtained when this algorithm traverses the graphs G1G_{1} and G2G_{2} shown in Fig.(6).(6) and Fig.(7).(7) respectively?

What is the commonly Known traversal of graphs that can be obtained from the subgraphs generated by Program Explore? Show that the time complexity of the procedure is O(v+e)O (v + e) for a graph with vv vertices and ee edges, given that each vertex can be accessed and removed from LIST in constant time. Also, show that all edges of the graph are traversed.
