Menger's theorem tells us that for any two nonadjacent vertices, u and v, in a graph G, the minimum number of vertices in a u-v separating set is equal to the maximum number of internally disjoint u-v paths in G.
The Proof of Menger's Theorem: [ Ссылка ]
Remember that a u-v separating set S in a graph G is a set of vertices in G, distinct from u and v, such that u and v are disconnected in G - S. Then, a minimum u-v separating set is a u-v separating set of minimum cardinality.
