Acknowledgement much of the material in these notes is from the books graph theory by reinhard diestel and introductiontographtheory bydouglaswest. Edge in original graph may correspond to 1 or 2 residual edges. A graph is said to be bridgeless or isthmusfree if it contains no bridges another meaning of bridge appears in the term bridge of a subgraph. Bridges in a graph an edge in an undirected connected graph is a bridge iff removing it disconnects the graph. Unless stated otherwise, we assume that all graphs are simple. The value of the max flow is equal to the capacity of the min cut. A forest f of g is a spanning forest if every pair of vertices that are connected in g are also connected in f. In fact, all of these results generalize to matroids. The capacity of a cut is sum of the weights of the edges beginning in s and ending in t. A bond is a cut set which does not contain any oth.
One of the main problems of algebraic graph theory is to determine. A cutvertex is a single vertex whose removal disconnects a graph. A cut vertex is a vertex that when removed with its boundary edges from a graph creates more components than previously in the graph.

Find minimum st cut in a flow network in a flow network, an st cut is a cut that requires the source s and the sink t to be in different subsets, and it consists of edges going from the sources side to the sinks side.

The concept of graphs in graph theory stands up on some basic terms such as point, line, vertex, edge, degree of vertices, properties of graphs, etc. In the following graph, the cut edge is c, e by removing the edge c, e from the graph, it becomes a disconnected graph. A graph is a mathematical abstraction of relationships. The above graph g2 can be disconnected by removing a single edge, cd. For instance, the center of the left graph is a single vertex, but the center of the right graph is a single edge. It may be also be used to solve other problems in geometric modeling. In graph theory, a bridge, isthmus, cutedge, or cut arc is an edge of a graph whose deletion increases its number of connected components. Assuming you are trying to get the smallest cut possible, this is the classic min cut problem.
The above graph g3 cannot be disconnected by removing a. This conjecture can easily be phrased in terms of graph theory, and many researchers used this approach during the dozen decades that the problem remained unsolved. List of theorems mat 416, introduction to graph theory 1. A cutedge or bridge is an edgecut consisting of a single edge. For a disconnected undirected graph, definition is similar, a bridge is an edge removing which increases number of disconnected components. An ordered pair of vertices is called a directed edge.
Adding a vertex or an edge is as simple as it sounds, but note that adding a vertex is not. Given a graph, a cut is a set of edges that partitions the vertices into two disjoint subsets. List of theorems mat 416, introduction to graph theory. A vertex v of a graph g is a cut vertex or an articulation vertex of g if the graph g. Lecture notes on expansion, sparsest cut, and spectral. It is important to note that the above definition breaks down if g is a complete graph, since we cannot then disconnects g by removing vertices.
In graph theory, a cut is a partition of the vertices of a graph into two disjoint subsets. Let g be a graph all graphs in this paper are simple and finite. It has at least one line joining a set of two vertices with no vertex connecting itself. Edges that have the same end vertices are parallel.
Bridge a bridge is a single edge whose removal disconnects a graph the above graph g1 can be split up into two components by removing one of the edges bc or bd.
