Problem of the month:


Characterize those simple graphs G with the following two properties: between each
pair of vertices u and v in G we have that (1) there exist a pair of vetex-disjoint
paths, and (2) any set of vertex-disjoint paths betweeen u and v has at
most two elements.

(Note: simple means no loops and at most one edge joining any pair of distinct
vertices in the graph. Also, P1,...,Pn are vetex-disjoint paths between u and v if they
are paths from u to v and if no two of them share a vertex except for u,v).
