Two bounds for generalized 3-connectivity of Cartesian product graphs

چکیده
The generalized k-connectivity κk(G) of a graphG, which was introduced by Chartrand et al.(1984) is a generalization of the concept of vertex connectivity. Let G and H be nontrivial connected graphs. Recently, Li et al. gave a lower bound for the generalized 3-connectivity of the Cartesian product graph G H and proposed a conjecture for the case that H is 3-connected. In this paper, we give two different forms of lower bounds for the generalized 3-connectivity of Cartesian product graphs. The first lower bound is stronger than theirs, and the second confirms their conjecture.

Sharp Upper bounds for Multiplicative Version of Degree Distance and Multiplicative Version of Gutman Index of Some Products of Graphs
In $1994,$ degree distance of a graph was introduced by Dobrynin, Kochetova and Gutman. And Gutman proposed the Gutman index of a graph in $1994.$ In this paper, we introduce the concepts of multiplicative version of degree distance and the multiplicative version of Gutman index of a graph. We find the sharp upper bound for the multiplicative version of degree distance and multiplicative ver...

متن کاملOn global (strong) defensive alliances in some product graphs
A defensive alliance in a graph is a set $S$ of vertices with the property that every vertex in $S$ has at most one moreneighbor outside of $S$ than it has inside of $S$. A defensive alliance $S$ is called global if it forms a dominating set. The global defensive alliance number of a graph $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a global defensive alliance in $G$. In this article we study the global ...
متن کاملOn the super domination number of graphs
The open neighborhood of a vertex $v$ of a graph $G$ is the set $N(v)$ consisting of all vertices adjacent to $v$ in $G$. For $Dsubseteq V(G)$, we define $overline{D}=V(G)setminus D$. A set $Dsubseteq V(G)$ is called a super dominating set of $G$ if for every vertex $uin overline{D}$, there exists $vin D$ such that $N(v)cap overline{D}={u}$. The super domination number of $G$ is the minimum car...
متن کاملThe Generalized Wiener Polarity Index of some Graph Operations
Let G be a simple connected graph. The generalized polarity Wiener index of G is defined as the number of unordered pairs of vertices of G whose distance is k. Some formulas are obtained for computing the generalized polarity Wiener index of the Cartesian product and the tensor product of graphs in this article.
