Abstract
For an edge-colored graph , we call an edge-cut of monochromatic if the edges of are colored with a same color. The graph is called monochromatically disconnected if any two distinct vertices of are separated by a monochromatic edge-cut. For a connected graph , the monochromatic disconnection number, denoted by , of is the maximum number of colors that are needed in order to make monochromatically disconnected. We will show that almost all graphs have monochromatic disconnection numbers equal to 1. We also obtain the Nordhaus-Gaddum-type results for .
