As discussed in the previous section, graph is a combination of vertices nodes and edges. Rivercrossing puzzles are a type of puzzle where the objective is to move a set of pieces objects, animals or people across a river, from one bank of the river. In a graph g ve, v2v is called an isolated vertex if dv 0, whereas v is an endvertex if dv 1. It also handles cross links in unrelated branches in the spanning tree that are to the left or have lower preorder number. Rivercrossing puzzles are a popular class of puzzles in the field of ai.
