The power graph $\mathcal{P}(G)$ of a given finite group $G$ is the simple undirected graph whose vertices are the elements of $G$, in which two distinct vertices are adjacent if and only if one of them can be obtained as an integral power…

Boesch and Chen (SIAM J. Appl. Math., 1978) introduced the cut-version of the generalized edge-connectivity, named $k$-edge-connectivity. For any integer $k$ with $2\leq k\leq n$, the {\em $k$-edge-connectivity} of a graph $G$, denoted by…

Let $G$ be a connected graph. The edge-connectivity of $G$, denoted by $\lambda(G)$, is the minimum number of edges whose removal renders $G$ disconnected. Let $\delta(G)$ be the minimum degree of $G$. It is well-known that $\lambda(G) \leq…

For a graph $G = (V, E)$, a subset $F\subset V(G)$ is called an $R_k$-vertex-cut of $G$ if $G -F$ is disconnected and each vertex $u \in V(G)- F$ has at least $k$ neighbors in $G -F$. The $R_k$-vertex-connectivity of $G$, denoted by…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. Let $P$ be a finite $p$-group of class $2$ and exponent $p$, whose commutator quotient $P/[P,P]$ is of order $p^n$. We define two parameters for $P$ related to central decompositions. The first parameter,…

Let $G$ be a graph and $S\subseteq V(G)$ with $|S|\geq 2$. Then the trees $T_1, T_2, \cdots, T_\ell$ in $G$ are \emph{internally disjoint Steiner trees} connecting $S$ (or $S$-Steiner trees) if $E(T_i) \cap E(T_j )=\emptyset$ and…

Let $G$ be a connected graph with minimum degree $\delta(G)$ and vertex-connectivity $\kappa(G)$. The graph $G$ is $k$-connected if $\kappa(G)\geq k$, maximally connected if $\kappa(G) = \delta(G)$, and super-connected (or super-$\kappa$)…

In this paper, we mainly investigate $K_{1,2}$-structure-connectivity for any connected graph. Let $G$ be a connected graph with $n$ vertices, we show that $\kappa(G; K_{1,2})$ is well-defined if $diam(G)\geq 4$, or $n\equiv 1\pmod 3$, or…

The $\ell$-component connectivity (or $\ell$-connectivity for short) of a graph $G$, denoted by $\kappa_\ell(G)$, is the minimum number of vertices whose removal from $G$ results in a disconnected graph with at least $\ell$ components or a…

We investigate the threshold probability for connectivity of sparse graphs under weak assumptions. As a corollary this completely solve the problem for Cartesian powers of arbitrary graphs. In detail, let $G$ be a connected graph on $k$…

An edge subset \( S \subseteq E(G) \) is called a 3-restricted edge-cut if \( G - S \) is disconnected and each component of \( G - S \) contains at least three vertices. The 3-restricted edge-connectivity of a graph \( G \), denoted by \(…

Connectivity and diagnosability are two important parameters for the fault tolerant of an interconnection network $G$. In 1996, F\`{a}brega and Fiol proposed the $g$-good-neighbor connectivity of $G$. In this paper, we show that $1\leq…

Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ nodes. In this note, we prove that if $G$ is $(r+1)$-vertex connected, $1 \leq r \leq n-2$, then there exists a configuration $p$ in general position in $R^r$ such that the bar framework $(G,p)$ is universally…

A \emph{uniform random intersection graph} $G(n,m,k)$ is a random graph constructed as follows. Label each of $n$ nodes by a randomly chosen set of $k$ distinct colours taken from some finite set of possible colours of size $m$. Nodes are…

Let $\kappa(G)$ be the connectivity of $G$ and $G\times H$ the direct product of $G$ and $H$. We prove that for any graphs $G$ and $K_n$ with $n\ge 3$, $\kappa(G\times K_n)=min\{n\kappa(G),(n-1)\delta(G)\}$, which was conjectured by Guji…

A vertex cut $S$ of a connected graph $G$ is a subset of vertices of $G$ whose deletion makes $G$ disconnected. A super vertex cut $S$ of a connected graph $G$ is a subset of vertices of $G$ whose deletion makes $G$ disconnected and there…

As a generalization of vertex connectivity, for connected graphs $G$ and $T$, the $T$-structure connectivity $\kappa(G, T)$ (resp. $T$-substructure connectivity $\kappa^{s}(G, T)$) of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a set of subgraphs $F$…

For any pair of edges $e,f$ of a graph $G$, we say that {\em $e,f$ are $P_3$-connected in $G$} if there exists a sequence of edges $e=e_0,e_1,\ldots, e_k=f$ such that $e_i$ and $e_{i+1}$ are two edges of an induced $3$-vertex path in $G$…
