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 to be min(| S | +m(G − S)) where S ⊂ V (G) and m(G − S) is the maximum order of the components of G − S. Similarly the edge-integrity of G is I′(G) := min(| S | +m(G − S)) where now S ⊆ E(G). Here and through the remaining sections, by an I-set (with respect to some prescribed graph G) we will mean a set S ⊂ V (G) for which I(G) =| S | +m(G − S). We define an I′-set similarly. In this paper we show a lower bound on the edgeintegrity of graphs and present an algorithm for its computation.
