Abstract

The enhanced power graph of a finite group GG, denoted by PE(G)\mathcal{P}_E(G), is the simple undirected graph whose vertex set is GG and two distinct vertices x,yx, y are adjacent if x,yzx, y \in \langle z \rangle for some zGz \in G. In this article, we determine all finite groups such that the minimum degree and the vertex connectivity of PE(G)\mathcal{P}_E(G) are equal. Also, we classify all groups whose (proper) enhanced power graphs are strongly regular. Further, the vertex connectivity of the enhanced power graphs associated to some nilpotent groups is obtained. Finally, we obtain a lower bound and an upper bound for the Wiener index of PE(G)\mathcal{P}_E(G), where GG is a nilpotent group. The finite nilpotent groups attaining these bounds are also characterized.
