Articulation Point

An articulation point in a graph is a node whose removal would disconnect the graph or increase the number of connected components. This document provides two definitions for an articulation point in a depth-first search (DFS) tree: 1) a non-root node with at least two children whose depth-first search does not visit them, or 2) a root of the depth-first search tree with at least two children. It also describes using a "low" value, defined as the lowest depth reachable from the subtree, to identify articulation points.
