چکیده

Let τ(G) and bind(G) be the toughness and binding number, respectively, of a graph G. Woodall observed in 1973 that τ(G) > bind(G) − 1. In this paper we obtain best possible improvements of this inequality except when (1+ √ 5)/2 < bind(G) < 2 and bind(G) has even denominator when expressed in lowest terms.

A Survey on Stability Measure of Networks

In this paper we discuss about tenacity and its properties in stability calculation. We indicate relationships between tenacity and connectivity, tenacity and binding number, tenacity and toughness. We also give good lower and upper bounds for tenacity.

Towards a measure of vulnerability, tenacity of a Graph

If we think of the graph as modeling a network, the vulnerability measure the resistance of the network to disruption of operation after the failure of certain stations or communication links. Many graph theoretical parameters have been used to describe the vulnerability of communication networks, including connectivity, integrity, toughness, binding number and tenacity.In this paper we discuss...

Vulnerability Measure of a Network - a Survey

In this paper we discuss about tenacity and its properties in stability calculation. We indicate relationships between tenacity and connectivity, tenacity and binding number, tenacity and toughness. We also give good lower and upper bounds for tenacity. Since we are primarily interested in the case where disruption of the graph is caused by the removal of a vertex or vertices (and the resulting...

A Survey on Complexity of Integrity Parameter

Many graph theoretical parameters have been used to describe the vulnerability of communication networks, including toughness, binding number, rate of disruption, neighbor-connectivity, integrity, mean integrity, edgeconnectivity vector, l-connectivity and tenacity. In this paper we discuss Integrity and its properties in vulnerability calculation. The integrity of a graph G, I(G), is defined t...

Tenacity and some related results

Conceptually graph vulnerability relates to the study of graphintactness when some of its elements are removed. The motivation forstudying vulnerability measures is derived from design and analysisof networks under hostile environment. Graph tenacity has been anactive area of research since the the concept was introduced in1992. The tenacity T(G) of a graph G is defined asbegin{center} $T(G)=di...
