We propose a new graph theory-based algorithm for the determination of the minimum breakpoint set of meshed systems. We show that if there is a k-tree in the graph associated with the system, then the minimum breakpoint set has a cardinality of . The proposed algorithm implements an iterative procedure to identify such a k-tree and having minimum . It is found...
