The maximum genus γM(G) of a connected graph G has been defined in [2] as the maximum g for which there exists an embedding h : G —> S(g), where S(g) is a compact orientable 2-manifold of genus g, such that each one of the connected components of S(g) — h(G) is homeomorphic to an open disk; such an embedding is called cellular. If G is cellularly embedded in S(g), having V vertices, E edges and F faces, then by Euler's formulaV-E + F = 2-2g.

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.

AbstractIn 2011, Beeler and Hoilman generalized the game of peg solitaire to arbitrary connected graphs. In the same article, the authors proved some results on the solvability of Cartesian products, given solvable or distance 2-solvable graphs. We extend these results to Cartesian products of certain unsolvable graphs. In particular, we prove that ladders and grid graphs are solvable and, further, even the Cartesian product of two stars, which in a sense are the “most” unsolvable graphs.

An path that is edge-colored is called proper if no two consecutive edges receive the same color. A general graph that is edge-colored is called properly connected if, for every pair of vertices in the graph, there exists a properly colored path from one to the other. Given two vertices u and v in a properly connected graph G, the proper distance is the length of the shortest properly colored path from u to v. By considering a specific class of colorings that are properly connected for Cartesian products of complete and cyclic graphs, we present results on the proper distance between all pairs of vertices in the graph.
