Definitionv1DF-257
Articulation point
a node whose removal disconnects the graph — meaning parts of the network that were previously connected can no longer reach each other
Why This Is a Definition
This definition precisely establishes 'articulation point' by naming the term, stating its genus (node in graph theory), and providing its specific differentia (removal disconnects the graph). It's a formal mathematical definition that distinguishes it from other graph theory concepts and directly relates to the practical concept of bottleneck relationships in systems.
