1.9 Cut Vertex and Cut Edge

This section defines and explores the concepts of cut vertices and cut edges in graphs, highlighting their importance in connectivity.

Learning Objectives

  • Subgraphs are formed by taking a subset of the vertices and edges of a given graph.

  • Induced subgraphs focus only on selected vertices and the edges between them.

  • Graph isomorphism refers to the structural similarity of two graphs despite possible differences in their representations.

Key Concepts

Subgraph

A graph formed from a subset of the vertices and edges of another graph.

Induced Subgraph

A subgraph formed by taking a subset of vertices and including all edges connecting pairs of vertices in that subset.

Graph Isomorphism

A relation between two graphs that indicates they have the same structure; they can be transformed into each other via a bijection between their vertex sets.

Connectivity

A property of a graph that indicates whether there exists a path between every pair of distinct vertices.

Cut Vertex

A vertex whose removal increases the number of connected components in a graph.

Cut Edge

An edge whose removal increases the number of connected components in a graph.
