The h-super connectivity κ h and the h-super edge-connectivity λ h are more refined network reliability indices than the connectivity and the edge-connectivity. This paper shows that for a connected balanced digraph D and its line digraph L, if D is optimally super edge-connected, then κ 1 (L) = 2λ 1 (D), and that for a connected graph G and its line graph L, if one of κ 1 (L) and λ 2 (G) exists, then κ 1 (L) = λ 2 (G). This paper determines that κ 1 (B(d, n)) is equal to 4d − 8 for n = 2 and d ≥ 4, and to 4d − 4 for n ≥ 3 and d ≥ 3, and that κ 1 (K(d, n)) is equal to 4d − 4 for d ≥ 2 and n ≥ 2 except K(2, 2). It then follows that B(d, n) and K(d, n) are both super connected for any d ≥ 2 and n ≥ 1.

“…To overcome such a shortcoming, Harary [2] introduced the concept of conditional connectivity by appending some requirements on connected components, Latifi et al [3] specified requirements and proposed the concept of the restricted h-connectivity. These parameters can measure fault tolerance of an interconnection network more accurately than the classical connectivity.…”
Let G n be an n-dimensional recursive network. The h-embedded connectivity ζ h (G n ) (resp. edge-connectivity η h (G n )) of G n is the minimum number of vertices (resp. edges) whose removal results in disconnected and each vertex is contained in an h-dimensional subnetwork G h . This paper determines ζ h and η h for the hypercube Q n and the star graph S n , and η 3 for the bubble-sort network B n .
“…Because the connectivity has some shortcomings, Esfahanian [1] proposed the concept of restricted connectivity, Latifi et al [3] generalized it to restricted h-connectivity which can measure fault tolerance of an interconnection network more accurately than the classical connectivity. The concepts stated here are slightly different from theirs.…”
The exchanged hypercube EH(s, t), proposed by Loh et al. [The exchanged hypercube, IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems 16 (9) (2005) 866-874], is obtained by removing edges from a hypercube Q s+t+1 . This paper considers a kind of generalized measures κ (h) and λ (h) of fault tolerance in EH(s, t) with 1 s t and determines κ (h) (EH(s, t)) = λ (h) (EH(s, t)) = 2 h (s + 1 − h) for any h with 0 h s. The results show that at least 2 h (s + 1 − h) vertices (resp. 2 h (s + 1 − h) edges) of EH(s, t) have to be removed to get a disconnected graph that contains no vertices of degree less than h, and generalizes some known results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
