Check biconnectedness — is_biconnected • igraph

Tests whether a graph is biconnected.

Usage

is_biconnected(graph)

Arguments

graph: The input graph. Edge directions are ignored.

Value

Logical, TRUE if the graph is biconnected.

Details

A graph is biconnected if the removal of any single vertex (and its adjacent edges) does not disconnect it.

igraph does not consider single-vertex graphs biconnected.

Note that some authors do not consider the graph consisting of two connected vertices as biconnected, however, igraph does.
