Let G denote a connected graph with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G). A subset C of E(G) is called a cutset of G if the graph with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G)—C is not connected, and C is minimal with respect to this property. A cutset C of G is simple if no two edges of C have a common vertex. The graph G is called primitive if G has no simple cutset but every proper connected subgraph of G with at least one edge has a simple cutset. For any edge e of G, let G—e denote the graph with vertex set V(G) and with edge set E(G)—e.
