De?nition 23 A path in a graph is a sequence of adjacent edges such that consecutive edges meet at shared vertices A path that begins and ends on the same vertex is called a cycle Note that every cycle is also a path but that most paths are not cycles Figure 34 illustrates K 5 the complete graph on 5 vertices with four di?erent
4 2 10 Theorem A graph is 2-connected iff it has a closed-ear decomposition and every cycle in a 2-edge-connected graph is the initial cycle in some such decomposition The proof of Theorem 4 2 10 is quite similar to that of Theorem 4 2 8 (with 2-connected iff ear decomposition) See p164 (=>) Show 2-edge-connectectedness is maintained on

What if a connected component/graph does not contain a cycle?
The essence of the algorithm is that if a connected component/graph does NOT contain a CYCLE, it will always be a TREE. See here for proof Let us assume the graph has no cycle, i.e. it is a tree. And if we look at a tree, each edge from a node: 1.either reaches to its one and only parent, which is one level above it.
When does a graph contain a cycle?
Finding cycles A graph contains a cycle if during a graph traversal, we find a node whose neighbor (other than the previous node in the current path) has already been visited.
How to check if an undirected graph has a cycle?
A simple DFS does the work of checking if the given undirected graph has a cycle or not. Here's the C++ code to the same. If a node which is already discovered/visited is found again and is not the parent node , then we have a cycle.
