K-edge-connected graph

 
Wikipedia: K-edge-connected graph

In graph theory, a graph is k-edge-connected if it remains connected whenever fewer than k edges are removed.

Formally, a graph G with edge set E(G) is k-edge-connected if G \setminus X is connected for all X \subseteq E(G) with \left| X \right| < k.

Minimum vertex degree gives a trivial upper bound on edge-connectivity. If a graph G is k-edge-connected then k \le \delta(G), where δ(G) is the minimum degree of any vertex v \in V(G). This fact is clear since deleting all edges with an end at a vertex of minimum degree will disconnect that vertex from the graph.
