Title
Extraconnectivity of graphs with large minimum degree and girth
Abstract
The extraconnectivity κ ( n ) of a simple connected graph G is a kind of conditional connectivity which is the minimum cardinality of a set of vertices, if any, whose deletion disconnects G in such a way that every remaining component has more than n vertices. The usual connectivity and superconnectivity of G correspond to κ (0) and κ (1), respectively. This paper gives sufficient conditions, relating the diameter D , the girth g , and the minimum degree δ of a graph, to assure maximum extraconnectivity. For instance, if D ⩽ g - n + 2( δ - 3), for n ⩾ 2 δ + 4 and g ⩾ n + 5, then the value of κ ( n ) is ( n - 1) δ - 2 n , which is optimal. The corresponding edge version of this result, to assure maximum edge-extraconnectivity λ ( n ), is also discussed.
