چکیده
Let D = (V,E) be a minimally k-edge-connected simple directed graph. We prove that there is a function f(k) such that |V | ≥ f(k) implies |E| ≤ 2k(|V | − k). We also determine the extremal graphs whose size attains this upper bound.

Colouring graphs with constraints on connectivity
A graph G has maximal local edge-connectivity k if the maximum number of edge-disjoint paths between every pair of distinct vertices x and y is at most k. We prove Brooks-type theorems for k-connected graphs with maximal local edge-connectivity k, and for any graph with maximal local edge-connectivity 3. We also consider several related graph classes defined by constraints on connectivity. In p...
متن کاملFaster Algorithms for Computing Maximal 2-Connected Subgraphs in Sparse Directed Graphs
Connectivity related concepts are of fundamental interest in graph theory. The area has received extensive attention over four decades, but many problems remain unsolved, especially for directed graphs. A directed graph is 2-edge-connected (resp., 2-vertex-connected) if the removal of any edge (resp., vertex) leaves the graph strongly connected. In this paper we present improved algorithms for ...
متن کاملOn Total Edge Irregularity Strength of Staircase Graphs and Related Graphs
Let G=(V(G),E(G)) be a connected simple undirected graph with non empty vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G). For a positive integer k, by an edge irregular total k-labeling we mean a function f : V(G)UE(G) --> {1,2,...,k} such that for each two edges ab and cd, it follows that f(a)+f(ab)+f(b) is different from f(c)+f(cd)+f(d), i.e. every two edges have distinct weights. The minimum k for which G ...
متن کاملDistinct edge geodetic decomposition in graphs
Let G=(V,E) be a simple connected graph of order p and size q. A decomposition of a graph G is a collection π of edge-disjoint subgraphs G_1,G_2,…,G_n of G such that every edge of G belongs to exactly one G_i,(1≤i ≤n). The decomposition 〖π={G〗_1,G_2,…,G_n} of a connected graph G is said to be a distinct edge geodetic decomposition if g_1 (G_i )≠g_1 (G_j ),(1≤i≠j≤n). The maximum cardinality of π...
متن کاملMinimally (k, k-1)-edge-connected graphs
For an interger l > 1, the l-edge-connectivity λl(G) of G is defined to be the smallest number of edges whose removal leaves a graph with at least l components, if |V (G)| ≥ l; and λl(G) = |V (G)| if |V (G)| ≤ l. A graph G is (k, l)-edge-connected if the l-edge-connectivity of G is at least k. A sufficient and necessary condition for G to be minimally (k, k − 1)-edgeconnected is obtained in the...
