Explicit expressions of the restricted edge connectivity of the Cartesian product of regular graphs are presented; some sufficient conditions for regular Cartesian product graphs to be maximally or super restricted edge connected are obtained as a result.

In this paper we present some new sufficient conditions for equality of edge-connectivity and minimum degree of graphs and digraphs as well as of bipartite graphs and digraphs.

Let G=(V,E) be a simple connected graph of order p and size q. A decomposition of a graph G is a collection π of edge-disjoint subgraphs G_1,G_2,…,G_n of G such that every edge of G belongs to exactly one G_i,(1≤i ≤n). The decomposition 〖π={G〗_1,G_2,…,G_n} of a connected graph G is said to be a distinct edge geodetic decomposition if g_1 (G_i )≠g_1 (G_j ),(1≤i≠j≤n). The maximum cardinality of π...

The vertex-edge Wiener polynomials of a simple connected graph are defined based on the distances between vertices and edges of that graph. The first derivative of these polynomials at one are called the vertex-edge Wiener indices. In this paper, we express some basic properties of the first and second vertex-edge Wiener polynomials of simple connected graphs and compare the first and second ve...

the first ($pi_1$) and the second $(pi_2$) multiplicative zagreb indices of a connected graph $g$, with vertex set $v(g)$ and edge set $e(g)$, are defined as $pi_1(g) = prod_{u in v(g)} {d_u}^2$ and $pi_2(g) = prod_{uv in e(g)} {d_u}d_{v}$, respectively, where ${d_u}$ denotes the degree of the vertex $u$. in this paper we present a simple approach to order these indices for connected graphs on ...

For a subset S of edges in a connected graph G, the set S is a k-restricted edge cut if G− S is disconnected and every component of G− S has at least k vertices. The k-restricted edge connectivity of G, denoted by λk(G), is defined as the cardinality of a minimum k-restricted edge cut. A connected graph G is said to be λk-connected if G has a k-restricted edge cut. Let ξk(G) = min{|[X, X̄ ]| : |...
