Triconnectivity

A set of generic implementations for finding $3$-edge-connected and $3$-vertex-connected components in a graph (implemented in Python). Made for junior-year independent work for Princeton University's COS Department.

Abstract

This paper explores the implementation and application of a well known $3$-edge-connectivity algorithm. We use Tsin's algorithm to analyze, in linear time, the connectivity of essential networks [1]. This includes state-wide road networks, distributed systems, and even the structure of the Internet. Implementations and applications of $3$-edge-connectivity are relatively unexplored, and this paper aims to fill a gap in the surrounding academic literature through rigorous explanation and demonstration.
