30 2-Connected Planar Graphs Planar networks A network N is a multi-)graph with two distinguished vertices, called its poles usually labelled 0 and ) such that the multi-)graph ˆN obtained from N by adding an edge between the poles of N is 2- connected. Let M be a network and X = N e, e EM)) a system of networks indexed by the edge-set EM) of M. Then N = MX) is called the superposition with core M and components N e and is obtained by replacing all edges e EM) by the corresponding network N e and, of course, by identifying the poles of N e with the end vertices of e accordingly). A network N is called an h-network if it can be represented by N = MX), where the core M has the property that the graph ˆM obtained by adding an edge joining the poles is 3-connected and has at least 4 vertices. Similarly N = MX) is called a p-network if M consists of 2 or more edges that connect the poles, and it is called an s-network if M consists of 2 or more edges that connect the poles in series.

31 2-Connected Planar Graphs Planar networks Trakhtenbrot s canonical network decomposition theorem: any network with at least 2 edges belongs to exactly one of the 3 classes of h-, p- or s-networks. Furthermore, any h-network has a unique decomposition of the form N = MX), and a p-network or any s- network) can be uniquely decomposed into components which are not themselves p-networks or s-networks).
