A recursive tree is a labeled rooted tree where the vertex labels respect the tree order (i.e., if u < v for two vertices u and v, then the label of u is smaller than the label of v). In a rooted tree, the parent of a vertex v is the vertex connected to v on the path to the root; every vertex has a unique parent, except the root has no parent. [24]
A cutpoint, cut vertex, or articulation point of a graph G is a vertex that is shared by two or more blocks. The structure of the blocks and cutpoints of a connected graph can be described by a tree called the block-cut tree or BC-tree. This tree has a vertex for each block and for each articulation point of the given graph.

Thus, given a graph G = (V, E), a tree decomposition is a pair (X, T), where X = {X 1, …, X n} is a family of subsets (sometimes called bags) of V, and T is a tree whose nodes are the subsets X i, satisfying the following properties: [3] The union of all sets X i equals V. That is, each graph vertex is associated with at least one tree node.
In graph theory, a branch of mathematics, the triconnected components of a biconnected graph are a system of smaller graphs that describe all of the 2-vertex cuts in the graph. An SPQR tree is a tree data structure used in computer science , and more specifically graph algorithms , to represent the triconnected components of a graph.
A cut or split is trivial when one of its two sides has only one vertex in it; every trivial cut is a split. A graph is said to be prime (with respect to splits) if it has no nontrivial splits. [2] Two splits are said to cross if each side of one split has a non-empty intersection with each side of the other split.
The two queries partition the vertex set into 4 subsets: vertices reached by both, either one, or none of the searches. One can show that a strongly connected component has to be contained in one of the subsets. The vertex subset reached by both searches forms a strongly connected component, and the algorithm then recurses on the other 3 subsets.
More precisely, there is always exactly one or exactly two vertices, which amount to such a separator, depending on whether the tree is centered or bicentered. [2] As opposed to these examples, not all vertex separators are balanced, but that property is most useful for applications in computer science, such as the planar separator theorem.
