A graph is -edge-connected if there does not exist a set of edges whose removal disconnects the graph (Skiena 1990, p. 177). The maximum edge connectivity of a given graph is the smallest degree of any node, since deleting these edges disconnects the graph. Complete bipartite graphs have maximum edge connectivity.
-edge-connectedness graph checking is implemented in the Wolfram Language as KEdgeConnectedGraphQ [g , k ].
The following table gives the numbers of -edge-connected graphs for -node graphs.
