In sociology , structural cohesion is the conception of a useful formal definition and measure of cohesion in social groups . It is defined as the minimal number of actors in a social network that need to be removed to disconnect the group. It is thus identical to the question of the node connectivity of a given graph in discrete mathematics . The vertex-cut version of Menger's theorem also proves that the disconnection number is equivalent to a maximally sized group with a network in which every pair of persons has at least this number of separate paths between them. It is also useful to know that k -cohesive graphs (or k -components) are always a subgraph of a k -core , although a k -core is not always k -cohesive. A k -core is simply a subgraph in which all nodes have at least k neighbors but it need not even be connected.
