Combined with the edge-connectivity, this paper investigates the relationship between the edge independence number and upper embeddability. And we obtain the following result:Let G be a k-edge-connected graph with girth g. Ifwhere k = 1, 2, 3, and α (G) denotes the edge independence number of G, then G is upper embeddable and the upper bound is best possible. And it has generalized the relative results.
