Abstract

We present the first linear-time algorithm that computes the 44-edge-connected components of an undirected graph. Hence, we also obtain the first linear-time algorithm for testing 44-edge connectivity. Our results are based on a linear-time algorithm that computes the 33-edge cuts of a 33-edge-connected graph GG, and a linear-time procedure that, given the collection of all 33-edge cuts, partitions the vertices of GG into the 44-edge-connected components.
