Let $G = (V(G), E(G))$ be a simple connected graph and $\Omega$ a subset of $ V(G)$ with $|\Omega|\geq2$. An $\Omega$-path in $G$ is a path that connects all vertices of $\Omega$. Two $\Omega$-paths $P_i$ and $P_j$ are said to be internally…

Let $S\subseteq V(G)$ and $\pi_{G}(S)$ denote the maximum number $t$ of edge-disjoint paths $P_{1},P_{2},\ldots,P_{t}$ in a graph $G$ such that $V(P_{i})\cap V(P_{j})=S$ for any $i,j\in\{1,2,\ldots,t\}$ and $i\neq j$. If $S=V(G)$, then…

Let $S\subseteq V(G)$ and $\kappa_{G}(S)$ denote the maximum number $r$ of edge-disjoint trees $T_1, T_2, \cdots, T_r$ in $G$ such that $V(T_i)\bigcap V(T_{j})=S$ for any $i, j \in \{1, 2, \cdots, r\}$ and $i\neq j$. For an integer $k$ with…

For a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a set $S\subseteq V(G)$ of size at least $2$, a path in $G$ is said to be an $S$-path if it connects all vertices of $S$. Two $S$-paths $P_1$ and $P_2$ are said to be internally disjoint if $E(P_1)\cap…

For $S\subseteq V(G)$ with $|S|\ge 2$, let $\kappa_G (S)$ denote the maximum number of internally disjoint trees connecting $S$ in $G$. For $2\le k\le n$, the generalized $k$-connectivity $\kappa_k(G)$ of an $n$-vertex connected graph $G$…

Connectivity is a cornerstone concept in graph theory, essential for evaluating the robustness of networks against failures. To better capture fault tolerance in complex systems, researchers have extended classical connectivity notions, one…

Let $S$ be a nonempty set of vertices of a connected graph $G$. A collection $T_1,..., T_\ell$ of trees in $G$ is said to be internally disjoint trees connecting $S$ if $E(T_i)\cap E(T_j)= \emptyset$ and $V(T_i)\cap V(T_j)=S$ for any pair…

Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a set of terminal vertices $T$ we say that a superset $S$ of $T$ is $T$-connecting if $S$ induces a connected graph, and $S$ is minimal if no strict subset of $S$ is $T$-connecting. In this paper we prove that…

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 \(…

Let $G$ be a (multi)graph of order $n$ and let $u,v$ be vertices of $G$. The maximum number of internally disjoint $u$-$v$ paths in $G$ is denoted by $\kappa_G(u,v)$, and the maximum number of edge-disjoint $u$-$v$ paths in $G$ is denoted…

Let $P$ be a set of $n\geq 3$ points in general position in the plane. The edge disjointness graph $D(P)$ of $P$ is the graph whose vertices are all the closed straight line segments with endpoints in $P$, two of which are adjacent in…

For $S\subseteq V(G)$ and $|S|\geq 2$, $\lambda(S)$ is the maximum number of edge-disjoint trees connecting $S$ in $G$. For an integer $k$ with $2\leq k\leq n$, the \emph{generalized $k$-edge-connectivity} $\lambda_k(G)$ of $G$ is then…

The $3$-path isolation number of a connected $n$-vertex graph $G$, denoted by $\iota(G,P_3)$, is the size of a smallest subset $D$ of the vertex set of $G$ such that the closed neighbourhood $N[D]$ of $D$ in $G$ intersects the vertex sets…

A path cover of a graph is a set of disjoint paths so that every vertex in the graph is contained in one of the paths. The path cover number $p(G)$ of graph $G$ is the cardinality of a path cover with the minimum number of paths. Reed in…

The $3$-path isolation number of a connected $n$-vertex graph $G$, denoted by $\iota(G,P_3)$, is the size of a smallest subset $D$ of the vertex set of $G$ such that the closed neighbourhood $N[D]$ of $D$ in $G$ intersects each $3$-vertex…

A path decomposition of a graph G is a collection of edge-disjoint paths of G that covers the edge set of G. Gallai (1968) conjectured that every connected graph on n vertices admits a path decomposition of cardinality at most (n+1)/2.…

Since a plurality of processors in a distributed computer system working in parallel, to ensure the fault tolerance and stability of the network is an important issue in distributed systems. As the topology of the distributed network can be…

Let $G$ be a nontrivial connected graph of order $n$ and let $k$ be an integer with $2\leq k\leq n$. For a set $S$ of $k$ vertices of $G$, let $\kappa (S)$ denote the maximum number $\ell$ of edge-disjoint trees $T_1,T_2,...,T_\ell$ in $G$…

The connectivity and edge connectivity of interconnection network determine the fault tolerance of the network. An interconnection network is usually viewed as a connected graph, where vertex corresponds processor and edge corresponds link…

The interconnection network considered in this paper is the bubble-sort star graph. The $n$-dimensional bubble-sort star graph $BS_n$ is a bipartite and $(2n-3)$-regular graph of order $n!$. A bipartite graph $G$ is edge-bipancyclic if each…
