articulation_points()
finds the articulation points (or cut vertices)
Value
For articulation_points()
, a numeric vector giving the vertex
IDs of the articulation points of the input graph. For bridges()
, a
numeric vector giving the edge IDs of the bridges of the input graph.
Details
Articulation points or cut vertices are vertices whose removal increases the number of connected components in a graph. Similarly, bridges or cut-edges are edges whose removal increases the number of connected components in a graph. If the original graph was connected, then the removal of a single articulation point or a single bridge makes it undirected. If a graph contains no articulation points, then its vertex connectivity is at least two.
