Abstract

We present k^{O(k^2)} m time algorithms for various problems about decomposing a given graph by edge cuts or vertex separators of size less than k into parts that are "well-connected" with respect to cuts or separators of size less than k; here, m is the total number of vertices and edges of the graph. As an application of our results, we obtain for

every fixed k a linear-time algorithm for computing the k-edge-connected components of a given graph, solving a long-standing open problem. Our main technical result, from which the other results follow, is a k^{O(k^2)} m time algorithm for computing a so-called "k-lean tree decomposition" of a given graph.

The paper is available in arXiv at https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.02658.
