In this paper a data structure is presented to efficiently maintain the 2and 3-edge-connected components of a graph, under insertions of edges in the graph. Starting from an "empty" graph of n nodes, the insertion of e edges takes O( n log n + e) time in total. The data structure a.llows for insertions of nodes a.lso (in the same time bounds, taking n as the fina.l number of nodes). Moreover, a...
