Importance of Finding girth and all property testing like triangle-freeness

37 Views Asked by At

What is the application of finding girth of a graph? What is the use of property testing like if the graph is triangle-free or if the graph contains a cycle of length k? Couldn't get the applications easily on the wiki. Research papers proposing algorithms for solving these problems mention something about colour-coding. Could you please give elaborates references of their applications?
