Abstract
We study the problem of maintaining the 2-edge-, 2-vertex-, and 3-edge-connected components of a dynamic planar graph subject to edge deletions. The 2-edge-connected components can be maintained in a total ofO(n logn) time under any sequence of at mostO(n) deletions. This givesO(logn) amortized time per deletion. The 2-vertex- and 3-edge-connected components can be maintained in a total ofO(n log2 n) time. This givesO(log2 n) amortized time per deletion. The space required by all our data structures isO(n). All our time bounds improve previous bounds.
