Some types of graphs, called networks, can represent the flow of resources, the steps in a process, the relationships among objects such as space junk by virtue of the.
Single point is vertex loop is an edge that starts and ends at the same vertex. We decrease the vertex degree each time we visit it. Whether it is possible to traverse a graph from one vertex to another is determined by how a graph is connected. It has subtopics based on edge and vertex, known as edge connectivity and vertex connectivity. Graph theoretic applications and models usually involve connections to the real. In mathematics and computer science, connectivity is one of the basic concepts of graph theory.

The study of k connected graph is motivated by the globally 3 connected graphs proposed by albert et al. Conceptually, a graph is formed by vertices and edges connecting the vertices. That is two paths sharing no common edges or vertices except u and v. There are n possible choices for the degrees of nodes in g, namely. An undirected graph is connected if it is all in one piece. Notation for special graphs k nis the complete graph with nvertices, i. It is closely related to the theory of network flow problems. Connectivity defines whether a graph is connected or disconnected. A graph g is called a tree if it is connected and acyclic.
