Abstract

The gg-extra connectivity is an important parameter to measure the ability of tolerance and reliability of interconnection networks. Given a connected graph G=(V,E)G=(V,E) and a non-negative integer gg, a subset SVS\subseteq V is called a gg-extra cut of GG if GSG-S is disconnected and every component of GSG-S has at least g+1g+1 vertices. The cardinality of the minimum gg-extra cut is defined as the gg-extra connectivity of GG, denoted by κg(G)\kappa_g(G). In a search for triangle-free graphs with arbitrarily large chromatic numbers, Mycielski developed a graph transformation that transforms a graph GG into a new graph μ(G)\mu(G), which is called the Mycielskian of GG. This paper investigates the relationship of the g-extra connectivity of the Mycielskian μ(G)\mu(G) and the graph GG, moreover, show that κ2g+1(μ(G))=2κg(G)+1\kappa_{2g+1}(\mu(G))=2\kappa_{g}(G)+1 for g1g\geq 1 and κg(G)min{g+1,n2}\kappa_{g}(G)\leq min\{g+1, \lfloor\frac{n}{2}\rfloor\}.
