Abstract
We answer a question on group connectivity suggested by Jaeger et al. [Group connectivity of graphs -- A nonhomogeneous analogue of nowhere-zero flow properties, JCTB 1992]: we find that -connectivity does not imply -connectivity, neither vice versa. We use a computer to find the graphs certifying this and to verify their properties using non-trivial enumerative algorithm. While the graphs are small (the largest has 15 vertices and 21 edges), a computer-free approach remains elusive.
