K-edge-connected Graph - Relation To Minimum Vertex Degree

Relation To Minimum Vertex Degree

Minimum vertex degree gives a trivial upper bound on edge-connectivity. That is, if a graph G = (E,V) is k-edge-connected then it is necessary that k ≤ δ(G), where δ(G) is the minimum degree of any vertex v ∈ V. Obviously, deleting all edges incident to a vertex, v, would then disconnect v from the graph.

Famous quotes containing the words relation to, relation, minimum and/or degree:

    “Unaware of the absurdity of it, we introduce our own petty household rules into the economy of the universe for which the life of generations, peoples, of entire planets, has no importance in relation to the general development.”
    —Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)

    “Skepticism is unbelief in cause and effect. A man does not see, that, as he eats, so he thinks: as he deals, so he is, and so he appears; he does not see that his son is the son of his thoughts and of his actions; that fortunes are not exceptions but fruits; that relation and connection are not somewhere and sometimes, but everywhere and always; no miscellany, no exemption, no anomaly,—but method, and an even web; and what comes out, that was put in.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “After decades of unappreciated drudgery, American women just don’t do housework any more—that is, beyond the minimum that is required in order to clear a path from the bedroom to the front door so they can get off to work in the mourning.”
    —Barbara Ehrenreich (20th century)

    “[F]or as Socrates says that a wise man is a citizen of the world, so I thought that a wise woman was equally at liberty to range through every station or degree of men, to fix her choice wherever she pleased.”
    —Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
