edgeConnectivity -- computes the edge connectivity of a graph

Synopsis

Description

The edge connectivity of a graph is the smallest amount of edges that need be removed from a graph to make it not connected. This corresponds to the size of the edge cuts. A not connected graph has edge connectivity equal to 0.
