Bridge (graph Theory)

In graph theory, a bridge (also known as a cut-edge or cut arc or an isthmus) is an edge whose deletion increases the number of connected components. Equivalently, an edge is a bridge if and only if it is not contained in any cycle. A graph is said to be bridgeless if it contains no bridges.
