AbstractAn induced subgraph H of connectivity (edge-connectivity) n in a graph G is a major n-connected (major n-edge-connected) subgraph of G if H contains no subgraph with connectivity (edge- connectivity) exceeding n and H has maximum order with respect to this property. An induced subgraph is a major (major edge-) subgraph if it is a major n-connected (major n-edge-connected) subgraph for some n. Let m be the maximum order among all major subgraphs of C. Then the major connectivity set K(G) of G is defined as the set of all n for which there exists a major n-connected subgraph of G having order m. The major edge-connectivity set is defined analogously. The connectivity and the elements of the major connectivity set of a graph are compared, as are the elements of the major connectivity set and the major edge-connectivity set of a graph. It is shown that every set S of nonnegative integers is the major connectivity set of some graph G. Further, it is shown that for each positive integer m exceeding every element of S, there exists a graph G such that every major k-connected subgraph of G, where k ∈ K(G), has order m. Moreover, upper and lower bounds on the order of such graphs G are established.

The super edge-connectivity λ′ of a connected graph G is the minimum cardinality of an edge-cut F in G such that every component of G–F contains at least two vertices. Let two connected graphs Gm and Gp have m and p vertices, minimum degree δ(Gm) and δ(Gp), edge-connectivity λ(Gm) and λ(Gp), respectively. This paper shows that min {pλ(Gm), λ(Gp) + δ(Gm), δ(Gm)(λ(Gp) + 1), (δ(Gm) + 1)λ(Gp)} ≤ λ(Gm * Gp) ≤ δ(Gm) + δ(Gp), where the product graph Gm * Gp of two given graphs Gm and Gp, defined by J. C. Bermond et al. [J. Combin. Theory B36 (1984) 32–48] in the context of the so-called (△, D)-problem, is one interesting model in the design of large reliable networks. Moreover, this paper determines λ′(Gm * Gp) ≤ min {pδ(Gm), ξ(Gp) + 2δ(Gm)} and λ′(G1 ⊕ G2) ≥ min {n, λ1 + λ2} if δ1 = δ2.

Let G = (V (G),E(G)) be a graph. A set S ? E(G) is an edge k-cut in G if the graph G-S = (V (G), E(G) \ S) has at least k connected components. The generalized k-edge connectivity of a graph G, denoted as ?k(G), is the minimum cardinality of an edge k-cut in G. In this article we determine generalized 3-edge connectivity of Cartesian product of connected graphs G and H and describe the structure of any minimum edge 3-cut in G2H. The generalized 3-edge connectivity ?3(G2H) is given in terms of ?3(G) and ?3(H) and in terms of other invariants of factors G and H.

We continue our earlier investigation of properties of linear codes generated by the rows of incidence matrices of $k$-regular connected graphs on $n$ vertices. The notion of edge connectivity is used to show that, for a wide range of such graphs, the $p$-ary code, for all primes $p$, from an $n \times \frac{1}{2}nk$ incidence matrix has dimension $n$ or $n-1$, minimum weight $k$, the minimum words are the scalar multiples of the rows, there is a gap in the weight enumerator between $k$ and $2k-2$, and the words of weight $2k-2$ are the scalar multiples of the differences of intersecting rows of the matrix. For such graphs, the graph can thus be retrieved from the code.

In this paper, we show that in the class of graphs of order n and given (vertex or edge) connectivity equal to k (or at most equal to k), 1 ? k ? n - 1, the graph Kk + (K1? Kn-k-1) is the unique graph such that zeroth-order general Randic index, general sum-connectivity index and general Randic connectivity index are maximum and general hyper-Wiener index is minimum provided ? > 1. Also, for 2-connected (or 2-edge connected) graphs and ? > 0 the unique graph minimizing these indices is the n-vertex cycle Cn.

Abstract The second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix of a graph (network) is called its algebraic connectivity which is used to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease, distinguish the group differences, measure the robustness, construct multiplex model, synchronize the stability, analyze the diffusion processes and find the connectivity of the graphs (networks). A connected graph containing two or three cycles is called a bicyclic graph if its number of edges is equal to its number of vertices plus one. In this paper, firstly the unique graph with a minimum algebraic connectivity is characterized in the class of connected graphs whose complements are bicyclic with exactly three cycles. Then, we find the unique graph of minimum algebraic connectivity in the class of connected graphs $\begin{array}{} {\it\Omega}^c_{n}={\it\Omega}^c_{1,n}\cup{\it\Omega}^c_{2,n}, \end{array}$ where $\begin{array}{} {\it\Omega}^c_{1,n} \end{array}$ and $\begin{array}{} {\it\Omega}^c_{2,n} \end{array}$ are classes of the connected graphs in which the complement of each graph of order n is a bicyclic graph with exactly two and three cycles, respectively.
