| /** | ||
| * Implementation of Hierholzer's algorithm to find an Eulerian Circuit in an undirected graph. | ||
| * <p> | ||
| * An Eulerian circuit is a trail in a graph that visits every edge exactly once, | ||
| * starting and ending at the same vertex. This algorithm finds such a circuit if one exists. | ||
| * </p> | ||
| * <p> | ||
| * This implementation is designed for an <strong>undirected graph</strong>. For a valid Eulerian | ||
| * circuit to exist, the graph must satisfy two conditions: | ||
| * <ol> | ||
| * <li>All vertices with a non-zero degree must be part of a single connected component.</li> | ||
| * <li>Every vertex must have an even degree (an even number of edges connected to it).</li> | ||
| * </ol> | ||
| * </p> | ||
| * <p> | ||
| * The algorithm runs in O(E + V) time, where E is the number of edges and V is the number of vertices. | ||
| * The graph is represented by a Map where keys are vertices and values are a LinkedList of adjacent vertices. | ||
| * </p> | ||
| * | ||
| * @see <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eulerian_path#Hierholzer's_algorithm">Wikipedia: Hierholzer's algorithm</a> | ||
