On the Minimum Degree, Edge-connectivity and Connectivity of Power Graphs of Finite Groups

چکیده
The power graph of a group G is the graph whose vertex set is G and two distinct vertices are adjacent if one is a power of the other. In this paper, the minimum degree of power graphs of certain classes of cyclic groups, abelian p-groups, dihedral groups and dicyclic groups are obtained. It is ascertained that the edge-connectivity and minimum degree of power graphs are equal, and consequently the minimum disconnecting sets of power graphs of the aforementioned groups are determined. Then the equality of connectivity and minimum degree of power graphs of finite groups is investigated and in this connection, certain necessary conditions are produced. A necessary and sufficient condition for the equality of connectivity and minimum degree of power graphs of finite cyclic groups is obtained. Moreover, the equality is examined for the power graphs of abelian p-groups, dihedral groups and dicyclic groups.

On the edge-connectivity of C_4-free graphs
Let $G$ be a connected graph of order $n$ and minimum degree $delta(G)$.The edge-connectivity $lambda(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum numberof edges whose removal renders $G$ disconnected. It is well-known that$lambda(G) leq delta(G)$,and if $lambda(G)=delta(G)$, then$G$ is said to be maximally edge-connected. A classical resultby Chartrand gives the sufficient condition $delta(G) geq frac{n-1}{2}$fo...

Let $G$ be a connected graph with minimum degree $delta$ and edge-connectivity $lambda$. A graph ismaximally edge-connected if $lambda=delta$, and it is super-edge-connected if every minimum edge-cut istrivial; that is, if every minimum edge-cut consists of edges incident with a vertex of minimum degree.In this paper, we show that a connected graph or a connected triangle-free graph is maximall...

The general sum-connectivity index of a graph $G$ is defined as $chi_{alpha}(G)= sum_{uvin E(G)} (d_u + d_{v})^{alpha}$ where $d_{u}$ is degree of the vertex $uin V(G)$, $alpha$ is a real number different from $0$ and $uv$ is the edge connecting the vertices $u,v$. In this note, the problem of characterizing the graphs having extremum $chi_{alpha}$ values from a certain collection of polyomino ...
متن کاملA note on connectivity and lambda-modified Wiener index
In theoretical chemistry, -modified Wiener index is a graph invariant topological index to analyze the chemical properties of molecular structure. In this note, we determine the minimum -modified Wiener index of graph with fixed connectivity or edge-connectivity. Our results also present the sufficient and necessary condition for reaching the lower bound.
