A graph is biconnected if for every two vertices <math>v_1</math> and <math>v_2</math>, there is a simple cycle containing <math>v_1</math> and <math>v_2</math>. This defines an equivalence relation <math>v_1 R v_2</math>. Intuitively this means that for any two vertices, there are at least two paths from <math>v_1</math> to <math>v_2</math>. If any vertex and its edges are removed from a biconnected graph, it still remains connected.
