Minimum Tenacity of Toroidal graphs

author

Abstract:

The tenacity of a graph G, T(G), is dened by T(G) = min{[|S|+τ(G-S)]/[ω(G-S)]}, where the minimum is taken over all vertex cutsets S of G. We dene τ(G - S) to be the number of the vertices in the largest component of the graph G - S, and ω(G - S) be the number of components of G - S.In this paper a lower bound for the tenacity T(G) of a graph with genus γ(G) is obtained using the graph's connectivity κ(G). Then we show that such a bound for almost all toroidal graphs is best possible.

Normalized Tenacity and Normalized Toughness of Graphs

In this paper, we introduce the novel parameters indicating Normalized Tenacity ($T_N$) and Normalized Toughness ($t_N$) by a modification on existing Tenacity and Toughness parameters.  Using these new parameters enables the graphs with different orders be comparable with each other regarding their vulnerabilities. These parameters are reviewed and discussed for some special graphs as well.

Some Results on Tenacity of Graphs∗

The tenacity of an incomplete connected graph G is defined as T (G) = min{ |S|+m(G−S) ω(G−S) : S ⊂ V (G), ω(G− S) > 1}, where ω(G− S) and m(G− S), respectively, denote the number of components and the order of a largest component inG−S. This is a reasonable parameter to measure the vulnerability of networks, as it takes into account both the amount of work done to damage the network and how bad...

On the Edge-Tenacity of Graphs

The edge-tenacity Te(G) of a graph G was defined as Te(G) = min F⊂E(G) {| F | +τ(G− F ) ω(G− F ) } where the minimum is taken over all edge cutset F of G. We define G-F to be the graph induced by the edges of E(G) − F , τ(G − F ) is the number of edges in the largest component of the graph induced by G-F and ω(G−F ) is the number of components of G− F . A set F ⊂ E(G) is said to be a Te-set of ...

Crossing Number of Toroidal Graphs

It is shown that if a graph of n vertices can be drawn on the torus without edge crossings and the maximum degree of its vertices is at most d, then its planar crossing number cannot exceed cdn, where c is a constant. This bound, conjectured by Brass, cannot be improved, apart from the value of the constant. We strengthen and generalize this result to the case when the graph has a crossing-free...

Average Resistance of Toroidal Graphs

Abstract. The average effective resistance of a graph is a relevant performance index in many applications, including distributed estimation and control of network systems. In this paper, we study how the average resistance depends on the graph topology and specifically on the dimension of the graph. We concentrate on d-dimensional toroidal grids and we exploit the connection between resistance...
