K-vertex-connected graph

In graph theory, a connected graph G is said to be k-vertex-connected (or k-connected) if it has more than k vertices and remains connected whenever fewer than k vertices are removed. The vertex-connectivity, or just connectivity, of a graph is the largest k for which the graph is k-vertex-connected. (Wikipedia).

What are Connected Graphs? | Graph Theory

What is a connected graph in graph theory? That is the subject of today's math lesson! A connected graph is a graph in which every pair of vertices is connected, which means there exists a path in the graph with those vertices as endpoints. We can think of it this way: if, by traveling acr

Vertex Cuts in Graphs (and a bit on Connectivity) | Graph Theory, Vertex-Connectivity

What is a vertex cut of a graph? And how can we use vertex cuts to describe how connected a graph is? We have discussed cut vertices and connected graphs before, but by tying them together in a way, we are able to characterize different levels of connectivity in graphs. The focus of this l

Graph Theory: 05. Connected and Regular Graphs

We give the definition of a connected graph and give examples of connected and disconnected graphs. We also discuss the concepts of the neighbourhood of a vertex and the degree of a vertex. This allows us to define a regular graph, and we give some examples of these. --An introduction to

Vertex Connectivity of a Graph | Connectivity, K-connected Graphs, Graph Theory

What is vertex connectivity in graph theory? We'll be going over the definition of connectivity and some examples and related concepts in today's video graph theory lesson! The vertex connectivity of a graph is the minimum number of vertices you can delete to disconnect the graph or make

Intro to Hypercube Graphs (n-cube or k-cube graphs) | Graph Theory, Hypercube Graph

What are hypercube graphs? Sometimes called n-cube or k-cube graphs, these graphs are very interesting! We’ll define hypercube graphs/k-cube graphs in today’s graph theory video lesson. We’ll also go over how to somewhat easily construct hypercube graphs, and some of their interesting prop

Graph Theory: 53. Cut-Vertices

Here we introduce the term cut-vertex and show a few examples where we find the cut-vertices of graphs. We then go through a proof of a characterisation of cut-vertices: a vertex v is a cut-vertex if and only if there exist vertices u and w (distinct from v) such that v lies on every u-w

Edge Connectivity of Complete Graphs | Graph Theory

What is the edge connectivity of Kn, the complete graph on n vertices? In other words, what is the minimum number of edges we must delete to disconnect Kn? We'll prove this is n-1 in today's graph theory video lesson! For K1, the trivial graph, we define its edge connectivity to be 1. Fo

Proof: Complement of Regular Non-Eulerian Graph is Eulerian | Graph Theory, Euler Graphs

If the complement of a connected, regular, non-Eulerian graph is also connected, then it is Eulerian! We will prove this result in today's graph theory lesson using some argument about the degree sums of different graphs, and whether they're even or odd! Proof connected graph is Eulerian

Proof: Menger's Theorem | Graph Theory, Connectivity

We prove Menger's theorem stating that for two nonadjacent vertices u and v, the minimum number of vertices in a u-v separating set is equal to the maximum number of internally disjoint u-v paths. If you want to learn about the theorem, see how it relates to vertex connectivity, and see

Simple Bounds on Vertex Connectivity | Graph Theory

We know that the vertex connectivity of a graph is the minimum number of vertices that can be deleted to disconnect it or make it trivial. We may then ask, what is an upper bound on the connectivity of a graph? What is a lower bound on the vertex connectivity of a graph? We give the most b
