Abstract

The connectivity problem is a fundamental problem in graph theory. The best known algorithm to solve the connectivity problem on general graphs with n vertices and m edges takes $O(K(G)mn^{1.5})$ time, where K(G) is the vertex connectivity of G. In this paper, an efficient algorithm is designed to solve vertex connectivity problem, which takes $O(n^2)$ time and O(n) space for a trapezoid graph.
