网络故障概率多项式系数及其特性

让二元组(G,ρ)表示一个网络,其中G为反映网络拓扑结构的图,ρ为该网络各边出故障的概率.当网络的节点故障概率可以忽略不计时,网络的故障概率,即该网络因为边的故障而使得某两点不能通讯的概率P(G,ρ),可表为P(G,ρ)=sum from i=0 to 6 m_iρ~i(1-ρ)~(e-i),其中e为图G的边的条数,m_i为图G中具有i条边的截集(或断集)的个数,称为故障概率多项式系数。本文将讨论m_i的作用及其特性。     

K_(n,n)的局部最优可靠性

假设n点m边的简单无向图G=(V,E)的每个顶点完全可靠,各边相互独立地以同一概率q(0q1)发生故障,则用G不连通的概率P(G,q)作为衡量网不可靠程度的指标.如果对于充分接近q0的所有q都有P(G,q)P(H,q),则称在边故障概率q～q0时,网络G比H可靠.证明了当q～0时,Kn,n(n4)是2n点n2边图中局部最优可靠的.     

超级限制边连通二部图的充分条件

设S是连通图G的一个边割.若G-S不包含孤立点,则称S是G的一个限制边割.图G的最小限制边割的边数称为G的限制边连通度,记为λ'(G).如果图G的限制边连通度等于其最小边度,则称图G是最优限制边连通的,简称λ'-最优的.进一步,如果图G的每个最小限制边割恰好分离出图G的一条边,则称图G是超级限制边连通的,简称超级-λ'的.设G是一个最小度δ(G)≥2的n≥4阶二部图,ξ(G)是G的最小边度.本文证明了(a)若ξ(G)≥(n/2-2)(1+1/δ(G)-1),则G是λ'-最优的;(b)若ξ(G)>(n/2-2)(1+1/δ(G)-1),则G是超级-λ'的,除非图G是K2,n-2,n≥6或是Cartesian积图Kn/4,n/4×K2,其中n≥8且n整除4.最后,论文举例说明该结果是最好可能的.     

不含三角形的图的λ3-最优性的充分条件

设G=(V,E)是一个连通图,边集S(?)E是一个3-限制性边割,如果G-S是不连通的并且G-S的每个分支至少有三个点.图G的3-限制性边连通度λ_3(G)是G中最小的一个3-限制性边割的基数.图G是λ_3(G)连通的,如果3-限制性边割存在.G是λ_3-最优的,如果λ_3(G)=ξ_3(G),其中ξ_3(G)=min{|[U,(?)]|:U(?)V,|U|=3 and G[U]是连通的).G[U]表示V的子集U的导出子图,(?)=V\U表示U的补.[U,(?)]是一条边的一个端点在U中另一个端点在(?)中的边的集合.本文给出了不含三角形的图是λ_3-最优的一些充分条件.     

点可迁图的限制边连通性

3限制边割是连通图的一个边割, 它将此图分离成阶不小于3的连通分支. 图G的最小3限制边割所含的边数称为此图的3限制边连通度, 记作λ\-3(G). 它以图G的3阶连通点导出 子图的余边界的最小基数ξ_3(G)为上界. 如果λ_3(G)=ξ_3(G), 则称图G是极大3限制边连通的 . 已知在某种程度上,3限制边连通度较大的网络有较好的可靠性. 作者在文中证明: 如果k正则连通点可迁图的 围长至少是5, 那么它是是极大3限制边连通的.     

具有两个同阶轨道的双轨道图的圈边连通度

一个边割被称为圈边割,如果该边割能分离图的两个不同圈.如果一个图有圈边割,称该图为圈边可分离的.一个圈边可分离图G的最小圈边割的阶数被称为圈边连通度,记作cλ（G）.定义：ζ（G）=min{w（X）｜X导出G的最短圈},其中w（X）为端点分别在X和V（G）-X中的边的数目.如果一个圈边可分离图G使得cλ（G）=ζ（G）成立,称该图是圈边最优的.Tian和Meng在文章[11]以及Yang et al在文章[15]中研究了两种不同的双轨道图的圈边最优性.本文我们将研究具有两个同阶轨道的双轨道图的圈边连通度.     

3限制边连通度与正则因子

设G是一个阶不小于6的k正则连通点可迁图. 如果G不含三角形, 那么图G是极大3限制边连通的, 或者G含有各连通分支都同构于同一个h阶点可迁图的k-1正则因子, 其中2k-2≤h≤3k-5. 唯一的例外是: G是围长等于4 的3正则图.     

正则图的限制性边连通度

将连通图分离成阶至少为二的分支之并的边割称为限制性边割,最小限制性边割的阶称为限制性边连通度. 用λ′(G)表示限制性连通度,则λ′(G)≤ξ(G),其中ξ(G)表示最小边度. 如果上式等号成立,则称G是极大限制性边连通的. 本文证明了当k＞|G|/2时,k正则图G是极大限制性边连通的,其中k≥2, |G|≥4; k的下界在某种程度上是不可改进的.     

折叠交叉立方体的分支边连通度

r-分支连通度(边连通度)是衡量大型互连网络可靠性和容错性的一个重要参数.设G是连通图且r是非负整数,如果G中存在某种点子集(边子集)使得G删除这种点子集(边子集)后得到的图至少有r个连通分支.则所有这种点子集(边子集)中基数最小的点子集(边子集)的基数称为图G的r-分支连通度(边连通度).n-维折叠交叉立方体FCQn是由交叉立方体CQn增加2n-1条边后所得.该文利用r-分支边连通度作为可靠性的重要度量,对折叠交叉立方体网络的可靠性进行分析,得到了折叠交叉立方体网络的2-分支边连通度,3-分支边连通度,4分支边连通度.确定了折叠交叉立方体FCQn的r-分支边连通度.     

极大3限制边连通二部图的充分条件

设G=(V,E)是一个连通图.称一个边集合S■E是一个k限制边割,如果G-S的每个连通分支至少有k个顶点.称G的所有k限制边割中所含边数最少的边割的基数为G的k限制边连通度,记为λ_k(G).定义ξ_k(G)=min{[X,■]:|X|=k,G[X]连通,■=V(G)\X}.称图G是极大k限制边连通的,如果λ_k(G)=ξ_k(G).本文给出了围长为g>6的极大3限制边连通二部图的充分条件.     

Super edge-connectivity of mixed Cayley graph

A graph X is max-λ if λ(X)=δ(X). A graph X is super-λ if X is max-λ and every minimum edge-cut set of X isolates one vertex. In this paper, we proved that for all but a few exceptions, the mixed Cayley graph which is defined as a new kind of semi-regular graph is max-λ and super-λ.     

2n-正则简单图的边连通度

图的各种连通度概念被先后用来研究网络可靠性问题.对于0到2n之间的任意一个偶数2m,构造了一个2n-正则简单图,使得其边连通度的值为2m.从而得到:2n-正则简单图的边连通度能够取{0,2,4,…,2n}中的任何一个偶数.     

Upper bound of the third edge-connectivity of graphs

Let G be a simple connected graph of order n≥6. The third edge-connectivity of G is defined as the minimum cardinality over all the sets of edges, if any, whose deletion disconnects G and every component of the resulting graph has at least 3 vertices. In this paper, we first characterize those graphs whose third-edge connectivity is well defined, then establish the tight upper bound for the third edge-connectivity.     

Degree sequence conditions for maximally edge-connected graphs and digraphs

In this paper we give simple degree sequence conditions for the equality of edge-connectivity and minimum degree of a (di-)graph. One of the conditions implies results by Bollobás, Goldsmith and White, and Xu. Moreover, we give analogue conditions for bipartite (di-)graphs. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Optimization problems of the third edge-connectivity of graphs

The third edge-connectivity λ3(G) of a graph G is defined as the minimum cardinality over all sets of edges, if any, whose deletion disconnects G and each component of the resulting graph has at least 3 vertices. An upper bound has been established for λ3(G) whenever λ3(G) is well-defined. This paper first introduces two combinatorial optimization concepts, that is, maximality and superiority, of λ3(G), and then proves the Ore type sufficient conditions for G to be maximally and super third edge-connected. These concepts and results are useful in network reliability analysis.     

Edge-splittings preserving local edge-connectivity of graphs

Let G=(V+s,E) be a 2-edge-connected graph with a designated vertex s. A pair of edges rs,st is called admissible if splitting off these edges (replacing rs and st by rt) preserves the local edge-connectivity (the maximum number of pairwise edge disjoint paths) between each pair of vertices in V. The operation splitting off is very useful in graph theory, it is especially powerful in the solution of edge-connectivity augmentation problems as it was shown by Frank [Augmenting graphs to meet edge-connectivity requirements, SIAM J. Discrete Math. 5(1) (1992) 22-53]. Mader [A reduction method for edge-connectivity in graphs, Ann. Discrete Math. 3 (1978) 145-164] proved that if d(s)≠3 then there exists an admissible pair incident to s. We generalize this result by showing that if d(s)?4 then there exists an edge incident to s that belongs to at least ⌊d(s)/3⌋ admissible pairs. An infinite family of graphs shows that this bound is best possible. We also refine a result of Frank [On a theorem of Mader, Discrete Math. 101 (1992) 49-57] by describing the structure of the graph if an edge incident to s belongs to no admissible pairs. This provides a new proof for Mader's theorem.     

Eulerian detachments with local edge-connectivity

For a graph G, a detachment operation at a vertex transforms the graph into a new graph by splitting the vertex into several vertices in such a way that the original graph can be obtained by contracting all the split vertices into a single vertex. A graph obtained from a given graph G by applying detachment operations at several vertices is called a detachment of graph G. While detachment operations may decrease the connectivity of graphs, there are several works on conditions for preserving the connectivity. In this paper, we present necessary and sufficient conditions for a given graph/digraph to have an Eulerian detachment that satisfies a given local edge-connectivity requirement. We also discuss conditions for the detachment to be loopless.     

On the edge-connectivity and restricted edge-connectivity of a product of graphs

The product graph G_m*G_p of two given graphs G_m and G_p was defined by Bermond et al. [Large graphs with given degree and diameter II, J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 36 (1984) 32-48]. For this kind of graphs we provide bounds for two connectivity parameters (λ and λ^′, edge-connectivity and restricted edge-connectivity, respectively), and state sufficient conditions to guarantee optimal values of these parameters. Moreover, we compare our results with other previous related ones for permutation graphs and cartesian product graphs, obtaining several extensions and improvements. In this regard, for any two connected graphs G_m, G_p of minimum degrees δ(G_m), δ(G_p), respectively, we show that λ(G_m*G_p) is lower bounded by both δ(G_m)+λ(G_p) and δ(G_p)+λ(G_m), an improvement of what is known for the edge-connectivity of G_m×G_p.
