We characterize the class of exactly 3-edge-connected graphs, giving a synthesis involving two operations by which every exactly 3-edge-connected multigraph can be generated. Slightly modified syntheses give the planar exactly 3-edge-connected graphs and the exactly 3-edge-connected graphs with the fewest possible edges.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-05-07T18:23:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C40" ], "keywords": [ "multigraph", "edge-disjoint paths", "operations", "slightly modified syntheses" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0905.1053K" } } }
