Edge-Connectivity Augmentations of Graphs and Hypergraphs

چکیده

A. Frank (Augmenting graphs to meet edge-connectivity requirements, SIAM J. Discrete Math. 5(1), 22–53, 1992) developed a method to solve edgeconnectivity augmentation problems. His paper has stimulated further research in a number of directions, including many interesting generalizations. This paper surveys the current State of the Art on the edge-connectivity augmentation problem. Recent extensions of the problem are presented for undirected graphs, hypergraphs and more generally for set functions. Shortened proofs are provided for some of the results. A list of open problems is also presented.

Edge-connection of graphs, digraphs, and hypergraphs

In this work extensions and variations of the notion of edge-connectivity of undirected graphs, directed graphs, and hypergraphs will be considered. We show how classical results concerning orientations and connectivity augmentations may be formulated in this more general setting.

On the edge-connectivity of C_4-free graphs

Let $G$ be a connected graph of order $n$ and minimum degree $delta(G)$.The edge-connectivity $lambda(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum numberof edges whose removal renders $G$ disconnected. It is well-known that$lambda(G) leq delta(G)$,and if $lambda(G)=delta(G)$, then$G$ is said to be maximally edge-connected. A classical resultby Chartrand gives the sufficient condition $delta(G) geq frac{n-1}{2}$fo...

Sufficient conditions for maximally edge-connected and super-edge-connected

Let $G$ be a connected graph with minimum degree $delta$ and edge-connectivity $lambda$. A graph ismaximally edge-connected if $lambda=delta$, and it is super-edge-connected if every minimum edge-cut istrivial; that is, if every minimum edge-cut consists of edges incident with a vertex of minimum degree.In this paper, we show that a connected graph or a connected triangle-free graph is maximall...

Edge splitting and connectivity augmentation in directed hypergraphs

We prove theorems on edge splittings and edge-connectivity augmentation in directed hypergraphs, extending earlier results of Mader and Frank, respectively, on directed graphs. MSC Classification: 05C40, 05C65, 05C85, 05C20

Edge-connectivity of permutation hypergraphs

In this note we provide a generalization of a result of Goddard, Raines and Slater [4] on edge-connectivity of permutation graphs for hypergraphs. A permutation hypergraph Gπ is obtained from a hypergraph G by taking two disjoint copies of G and by adding a perfect matching between them. The main tool in the proof of the graph result was the theorem on partition constrained splitting off preser...
