Vertex connectivity is a well-studied concept in graph theory with numerous applications. A graph is $k$-connected if it remains connected after removing any $k-1$ vertices. The vertex connectivity of a graph is the maximum $k$ such that…

A k-tree is either a complete graph on (k+1) vertices or given a k-tree G' with n vertices, a k-tree G with (n+1) vertices can be constructed by introducing a new vertex v and picking a k-clique Q in G' and then joining each vertex u in Q.…

A graph G'(V,E') is an \eps-sparsification of G for some \eps>0, if every (weighted) cut in G' is within (1\pm \eps) of the corresponding cut in G. A celebrated result of Benczur and Karger shows that for every undirected graph G, an…
