The edge tenacity Te(G) of a graph G is dened as:Te(G) = min {[|X|+τ(G-X)]/[ω(G-X)-1]|X ⊆ E(G) and ω(G-X) > 1} where the minimum is taken over every edge-cutset X that separates G into ω(G - X) components, and by τ(G - X) we denote the order of a largest component of G. The objective of this paper is to determine this quantity for split graphs. Let G = (Z; I; E) be a noncomplete connected split...

The numbers of 2-connected and 2-edge-connected Steinhaus graphs with n vertices are determined for n¿ 6. The possible generating strings of 2-connected and 2-edge-connected Steinhaus graphs are classi0ed. c © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

We consider the problems of finding the minimum-weight 2-connected spanning subgraph in edge-weighted planar graphs and its variations. We first give a PTAS for the problem of finding minimum-weight 2-edge-connected spanning subgraphs where duplicate edges are allowed. Then we present a new greedy spanner construction for edge-weighted planar graphs. From this we derive quasi-polynomial time ap...

A graph G admits an H-covering if every edge of belongs to a subgraph isomorphic given H. is said be H-magic there exists bijection f:V(G)∪E(G)→{1,2,…,|V(G)|+|E(G)|} such that wf(H′)=∑v∈V(H′)f(v)+∑e∈E(H′)f(e) constant, for H′ In particular, H-supermagic f(V(G))={1,2,…,|V(G)|}. When H complete K2, H-(super)magic labeling edge-(super)magic labeling. Suppose F-covering and two graphs F We define (...

We attempt to generalize a theorem of Nash-Williams stating that graph has k-arc-connected orientation if and only it is 2k-edge-connected. In strongly connected digraph we call an arc deletable its deletion leaves digraph. Given 3-edge-connected G, define Frank number f(G) be the minimum k such there exist orientations G with property every edge becomes in at least one these orientations. are ...
