Abstract: | It was proved (5], 6]) that ifG is ann-vertex-connected graph then for any vertex sequencev
1, ...,v
n
≠V(G) and for any sequence of positive integersk
1, ...,k
n
such thatk
1+...+k
n
=|V(G)|, there exists ann-partition ofV(G) such that this partition separates the verticesv
1, ...,v(n), and the class of the partition containingv
i
induces a connected subgraph consisting ofk
i
vertices, fori=1, 2, ...,n. Now fix the integersk
1, ...,k
n
. In this paper we study what can we say about the vertex-connectivity ofG if there exists such a partition ofV(G) for any sequence of verticesv
1, ...,v
n
≠V(G). We find some interesting cases when the existence of such partitions implies then-vertex-connectivity ofG, in the other cases we give sharp lower bounds for the vertex-connectivity ofG. |
