Formal Definition
Let G = (E,V) be an arbitrary graph. If G' = (E \ X,V) is connected for all X ⊆ E where |X| < k, then G is k-edge-connected. Trivially, a graph that is k-edge-connected is also (k−1)-edge-connected.

Famous quotes containing the words formal and/or definition:
“Then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The definition of good prose is proper words in their proper places; of good verse, the most proper words in their proper places. The propriety is in either case relative. The words in prose ought to express the intended meaning, and no more; if they attract attention to themselves, it is, in general, a fault.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
