Title
Generalized degrees and Menger path systems
Abstract
For positive integers d and m , let P d,m ( G ) denote the property that between each pair of vertices of the graph G , there are m internally disjoint paths of length at most d . For a positive integer t , a graph G satisfies the minimum generalized degree condition δ t ( G ) ≥ s if the cardinality of the union of the neighborhoods of each set of t vertices of G is at least s . Generalized degree conditions that insure that P d,m ( G ) is satisfied are investigated. For example, if for fixed positive integers t ≥ 5, d ≥ 5 t 2 , and m ≥ 2, an m -connected graph G of order n satisfies the generalized degree condition δ t (G)≥( t (t+1) )( 5n (d+2) )+(m−1)d+3t 2 , then for n sufficientlylarge G has property P d, m ( G ). Also, if the order of magnitude of δ t ( G is decreased, then P d,m ( G ) will nothold; so the result is sharp in terms of order of magnitude of δ t ( G ).
