Abstract

In this paper, we show a necessary and sufficient condition which characterizes all bicritical graphs. Using this necessary and sufficient condition we develop a highly efficient algorithm to determine whether a graph is bicritical, of which the time complexity is bounded by O (|V||E|), and this is the best result that has ever been known.
