Let G be a simple non-complete graph of order n. The r-component edge connectivity of G denoted as λr(G) is the minimum number of edges that must be removed from G in order to obtain a graph with (at least) r connected components. The concept of r-component edge connectivity generalizes that of edge connectivity by taking into account the number of components of the resulting graph. In this pap...

An edge e of a k-connected graph G is said to be a removable edge if G a e is still k-connected, where Ga e denotes the graph obtained from G by deleting e to get G− e and, for any end vertex of e with degree k− 1 in G− e, say x, deleting x and then adding edges between any pair of non-adjacent vertices in NG−e(x). Xu and Guo [28] proved that a 5-connected graph G has no removable edge if and o...

Two objects of fundamental importance in the study of graph polynomials are the poset of induced subgraphs of a graph and the lattice of its connected partitions. In my earlier paper I showed that several invariants of a graph can be computed from the isomorphism class of its poset of non-empty induced subgraphs, (that is, subgraphs themselves are not required). In this paper I will prove that ...

An old conjecture by Jünger, Reinelt and Pulleyblank states that every 2-edgeconnected planar graph can be decomposed into paths of length 3 and triangles, provided its size is divisible by 3. We prove the conjecture for a class of planar graphs including all 2-edge-connected series-parallel graphs. We also present a 2edge-connected non-planar graph that can be embedded on the torus and admits ...

We show that all maximum length paths in a connected circular arc graph have non–empty intersection.

Motivated by applications in gerrymandering detection, we study a reconfiguration problem on connected partitions of graph G. A partition V(G) is if every part induces subgraph. In many applications, it desirable to obtain parts roughly the same size, possibly with some slack s. Balanced Connected k-Partition s, denoted (k,s)-BCP, into k nonempty subsets, sizes n1,…,nk |ni−n/k|≤s, each which su...

let $r$ be a commutative ring and let $m$ be an $r$-module. we define the small intersection graph $g(m)$ of $m$ with all non-small proper submodules of $m$ as vertices and two distinct vertices $n, k$ are adjacent if and only if $ncap k$ is a non-small submodule of $m$. in this article, we investigate the interplay between the graph-theoretic properties of $g(m)$ and algebraic properties of $m...

Thomassen conjectured that every 4-connected line graph is Hamiltonian. Chen and Lai [Z.-H. Chen, H.-J. Lai, Reduction techniques for super-Eulerian graphs and related topics— an update, in: Ku Tung-Hsin (Ed.), Combinatorics and Graph Theory, vol. 95, World Scientific, Singapore/London, 1995, pp. 53–69, Conjecture 8.6] conjectured that every 3-edge connected, essentially 6-edge connected graph ...
