On the g-extra connectivity of graphs products
Abstract
Connectivity is one of important parameters for the fault tolerant of an interconnection network. In 1996, Fàbrega and Fiol proposed the concept of g-extra connectivity. A subset of vertices S is said to be a cutset if G -S is not connected. A cutset S is called an R g -cutset, where g is a non-negative integer, if every component of G -S has at least g + 1 vertices. If G has at least one R g -cutset, the g-extra connectivity of G, denoted by κ g (G), is then defined as the minimum cardinality over all R g -cutsets of G. In this paper, we first obtain the exact value of g-extra connectivity for the lexicographic product of two general graphs. Next, the upper and lower sharp bounds of g-extra connectivity for the Cartesian product of two genaral graphs are given. In the end, we apply our results on grid graphs and 2-dimensional generalized hypercubes.

AB - Connectivity is one of important parameters for the fault tolerant of an interconnection network. In 1996, Fàbrega and Fiol proposed the concept of g-extra connectivity.

If G has at least one R g -cutset, the g-extra connectivity of G, denoted by κ g (G), is then defined as the minimum cardinality over all R g -cutsets of G. In this paper, we first obtain the exact value of g-extra connectivity for the lexicographic product of two general graphs. Next, the upper and lower sharp bounds of g-extra connectivity for the Cartesian product of two genaral graphs are given.
