Walking every edge
An Euler trail is governed by degree parity and connectivity.
WHAT HAPPENS IF…Do all-even degrees guarantee one trail through every edge?
Loading the mathematical model…
Each visit to an interior vertex pairs an arrival edge with a departure edge. Only the two endpoints may have unpaired incidences. This proves the parity necessity; an edge-splicing construction supplies sufficiency in a connected graph. Zero odd degrees gives a circuit, and two give an open trail.
A detail that matters
Euler trails repeat vertices if necessary; they may not repeat edges.
