Graph Connectivity After Path Removal

Let G be a graph and u, v be two distinct vertices of G. A u—v path P is called nonseparating if G—V(P) is connected. The purpose of this paper is to study the number of nonseparating u—v path for two arbitrary vertices u and v of a given graph. For a positive integer k, we will show that there is a minimum integer (k) so that if G is an (k)-connected graph and u and v are two arbitrary vertices in G, then there exist k vertex disjoint paths P ₁[u,v], P ₂[u,v], . . ., P _k [u,v], such that G—V (P _i [u,v]) is connected for every i (i = 1, 2, ..., k). In fact, we will prove that (k) 22k+2. It is known that (1) = 3.. A result of Tutte showed that (2) = 3. We show that (3) = 6. In addition, we prove that if G is a 5-connected graph, then for every pair of vertices u and v there exists a path P[u, v] such that G—V(P[u, v]) is 2-connected.* Supported by NSF grant No. DMS-0070059 Supported by ONR grant N00014-97-1-0499 Supported by NSF grant No. 9531824

Random Graph Coverings I: General Theory and Graph Connectivity

In this paper we describe a simple model for random graphs that have an n-fold covering map onto a fixed finite base graph. Roughly, given a base graph G and an integer n, we form a random graph by replacing each vertex of G by a set of n vertices, and joining these sets by random matchings whenever the corresponding vertices are adjacent in G. The resulting graph covers the original graph in the sense that the two are locally isomorphic. We suggest possible applications of the model, such as constructing graphs with extremal properties in a more controlled fashion than offered by the standard random models, and also "randomizing" given graphs. The main specific result that we prove here (Theorem 1) is that if is the smallest vertex degree in G, then almost all n-covers of G are -connected. In subsequent papers we will address other graph properties, such as girth, expansion and chromatic number.

Super Connectivity and Super Edge Connectivity of the Mycielskian of a Graph

Mycielski introduced a new graph transformation μ(G) for graph G, which is called the Mycielskian of G. A graph G is super connected or simply super-κ (resp. super edge connected or super-λ), if every minimum vertex cut (resp. minimum edge cut) isolates a vertex of G. In this paper, we show that for a connected graph G with |V(G)| ≥ 2, μ(G) is super-κ if and only if δ(G) < 2κ(G), and μ(G) is super-λ if and only if G\ncong K₂{G\ncong K_2}.

Spanning Connectivity of the Power of a Graph and Hamilton-Connected Index of a Graph

Let G = (V, E) be a connected graph. The hamiltonian index h(G) (Hamilton-connected index hc(G)) of G is the least nonnegative integer k for which the iterated line graph L ^k (G) is hamiltonian (Hamilton-connected). In this paper we show the following. (a) If |V(G)| ≥ k + 1 ≥ 4, then in G ^k , for any pair of distinct vertices {u, v}, there exists k internally disjoint (u, v)-paths that contains all vertices of G; (b) for a tree T,  h(T) ≤ hc(T) ≤ h(T) + 1, and for a unicyclic graph G,  h(G) ≤ hc(G) ≤ max{h(G) + 1, k′ + 1}, where k′ is the length of a longest path with all vertices on the cycle such that the two ends of it are of degree at least 3 and all internal vertices are of degree 2; (c) we also characterize the trees and unicyclic graphs G for which hc(G) = h(G) + 1.     

On the Graph Connectivity of Skeleta of Convex Polytopes

Given a d-dimensional convex polytope P and nonnegative integer k not exceeding d−1, let denote the simple graph on the node set of k-dimensional faces of P in which two such faces are adjacent if there exists a (k+1)-dimensional face of P which contains them both. The graph is isomorphic to the dual graph of the (d−k)-dimensional skeleton of the normal fan of P. For fixed values of k and d, the largest integer m such that is m-vertex-connected for all d-dimensional polytopes P is determined. This result generalizes Balinski’s theorem on the one-dimensional skeleton of a d-dimensional convex polytope. Supported by the 70/4/8755 ELKE Research Fund of the University of Athens.     

On Eccentric Connectivity Index of Eccentric Graph of Regular Dendrimer

The eccentric connectivity index \(\xi ^c(G)\) of a connected graph G is defined as \(\xi ^c(G) =\sum _{v \in V(G)}{deg(v) e(v)},\) where deg(v) is the degree of vertex v and e(v) is the eccentricity of v. The eccentric graph, \(G_e\), of a graph G has the same set of vertices as G,  with two vertices u, v adjacent in \(G_e\) if and only if either u is an eccentric vertex of v or v is an eccentric vertex of u. In this paper, we obtain a formula for the eccentric connectivity index of the eccentric graph of a regular dendrimer. We also derive a formula for the eccentric connectivity index for the second iteration of eccentric graph of regular dendrimer.     

The Maximum Genus of a Graph with Given Diameter and Connectivity

In this paper, we first review some of the known results about the maximum genus of a graph with given diameter or (and) connectivity. Then we prove that a 3-connected diameter 4 multigraph has Betti deficiency at most 2. Furthermore, we show this upper bound is sharp.

A Degree Sum Condition Concerning the Connectivity and the Independence Number of a Graph

Let G be a graph and S ⊂ V(G). We denote by α(S) the maximum number of pairwise nonadjacent vertices in S. For x, y ∈ V(G), the local connectivity κ(x, y) is defined to be the maximum number of internally-disjoint paths connecting x and y in G. We define . In this paper, we show that if κ(S) ≥ 3 and for every independent set {x ₁, x ₂, x ₃, x ₄} ⊂ S, then G contains a cycle passing through S. This degree condition is sharp and this gives a new degree sum condition for a 3-connected graph to be hamiltonian.     

Augmenting the Edge‐Connectivity of a Hypergraph by Adding a Multipartite Graph

Given a hypergraph, a partition of its vertex set, and a nonnegative integer k, find a minimum number of graph edges to be added between different members of the partition in order to make the hypergraph k‐edge‐connected. This problem is a common generalization of the following two problems: edge‐connectivity augmentation of graphs with partition constraints (J. Bang‐Jensen, H. Gabow, T. Jordán, Z. Szigeti, SIAM J Discrete Math 12(2) (1999), 160–207) and edge‐connectivity augmentation of hypergraphs by adding graph edges (J. Bang‐Jensen, B. Jackson, Math Program 84(3) (1999), 467–481). We give a min–max theorem for this problem, which implies the corresponding results on the above‐mentioned problems, and our proof yields a polynomial algorithm to find the desired set of edges.     

The Toughness of a Toroidal Graph with Connectivity 3 and Girth 6 is Exactly 1

We show that every toroidal graph with connectivity 3 and girth 6 is bipartite. This implies that its toughness is at most 1. This answers a question in Goddard, Plummer, and Swart [3] in which it was shown that such a graph has toughness at least 1.Acknowledgments We would like to thank Douglas B.

A Lower Bound for the Algebraic Connectivity of a Graph in Terms of the Domination Number

We investigate how the algebraic connectivity of a graph changes by relocating a connected branch from one vertex to another vertex, and then minimize the algebraic connectivity among all connected graphs of order n with fixed domination number \(\gamma\leq\frac{n+2}{3}\), and finally present a lower bound for the algebraic connectivity in terms of the domination number. We also characterize the minimum algebraic connectivity of graphs with domination number half their order.     

Application of Graph Theory: Relationship of Eccentric Connectivity Index and Wiener's Index with Anti-inflammatory Activity

Graph theory was successfully applied in developing a relationship between chemical structure and biological activity. The relationship of two graph invariants—the eccentric connectivity index and the Wiener's index was investigated with regard to anti-inflammatory activity, for a data set consisting of 76 pyrazole carboxylic acid hydrazide analogues. The values of the eccentric connectivity index and the Wiener's index of each analogue in the data set were computed and active ranges were identified. Subsequently, each analogue was assigned a biological activity that was compared with the anti-inflammatory activity reported as percent reduction in paw swelling. Prediction with an accuracy of ∼90% was obtained using the eccentric connectivity index as compared to 84% in the case of Wiener's index.     

On Eccentric Connectivity Index and Connectivity

Let G be a finite connected graph. The eccentric connectivity index ξ^c(G) of G is defined as ξ^c(G)= _{v∈V (G)} ec(v)deg(v), where ec(v) and deg(v) denote the eccentricity and degree of a vertex v in G, respectively. In this paper, we give an asymptotically sharp upper bound on the eccentric connectivity index in terms of order and vertex-connectivity and in terms of order and edge-connectivity. We also improve the bounds for triangle-free graphs.     

Connectivity interdiction

We consider the problem of maximally decreasing the edge-connectivity of an edge-weighted graph by removing a limited set of edges. This problem, which we term connectivity interdiction, falls into a large family of so-called interdiction problems, which have been considered in a variety of contexts. Whereas little is known about the approximability of most interdiction problems, we show that connectivity interdiction admits a PTAS, and a natural special case of it can even be solved efficiently.
