“…In this section we present and prove two lemmas, Lemmas 4.1 and 4.2, which extend some earlier results on bridge-addable sets of graphs, see [1,11,14,16,19,23,24]. We shall use these new results in the proof of Lemma 5.2, which is used in the proof of Theorem 1.4, and elsewhere in the proof of Theorem 1.4.…”
