Abstract

This article studies labeling schemes for the vertex connectivity function on general graphs. We consider the problem of assigning short labels to the nodes of any n-node graph is such a way that given the labels of any two nodes u and v, one can decide whether u and v are k-vertex connected in G, that is, whether there exist k vertex disjoint paths connecting u and v. This article establishes an upper bound of k2log n on the number of bits used in a label. The best previous upper bound for the label size of such a labeling scheme is 2klog n.
