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 vV. Obviously, deleting all edges incident to a vertex, v, would then disconnect v from the graph.

    ... a worker was seldom so much annoyed by what he got as by what he got in relation to his fellow workers.

    There are ... two minimum conditions necessary and sufficient for the existence of a legal system. On the one hand those rules of behavior which are valid according to the system’s ultimate criteria of validity must be generally obeyed, and on the other hand, its rules of recognition specifying the criteria of legal validity and its rules of change and adjudication must be effectively accepted as common public standards of official behavior by its officials.
    —H.L.A. (Herbert Lionel Adolphus)

    Justice in the hands of the powerful is merely a governing system like any other. Why call it justice? Let us rather call it injustice, but of a sly effective order, based entirely on cruel knowledge of the resistance of the weak, their capacity for pain, humiliation and misery. Injustice sustained at the exact degree of necessary tension to turn the cogs of the huge machine-for- the-making-of-rich-men, without bursting the boiler.
    Georges Bernanos (1888–1948)
