Strongly Menger-edge-connectedness and strongly Menger-vertex-connectedness of regular networks

Published: 30 June 2018 Publication History

Abstract

Let F be a conditional faulty edge set of a graph G. Here the condition imposed on F is (GF)r for some fixed integer r. The graph G is called F-strongly Menger-edge-connected of order r if each pair of distinct vertices u and v are connected by min{degGF(u), degGF(v)} edge-disjoint paths in GF, where degGF(u) and degGF(v) are the degrees of u and v in GF, respectively. A graph G is t-strongly Menger-edge-connected of order r if G is F-strongly Menger-edge-connected of order r for every FE(G) with |F|t. One can consider the vertex version in an analogous way.There are a number of papers with results for r=2 for several popular classes of interconnection network. In this paper, we develop a unified approach by considering various sufficient conditions of a regular graph to be F-strongly Menger-edge-connected of order r and the corresponding vertex version. As corollaries, several results on fundamental classes of interconnection networks are presented including new results as well as strengthening of existing results such as the one given by Qiao and Yang (2017) [20]. The concepts of F-strongly Menger-edge-connected of order 2 is generalized to that of F-strongly Menger-edge-connected of order r and the corresponding vertex version.We provide a number of sufficient conditions for a k-regular graph to be F-strongly Menger-edge-connected (Menger-vertex-connected) of order r.We get the several new results for regular graphs such as:If G is triangle-free and super (t+k1)-edge-connected of order r+1, then G is t-strongly Menger-edge-connected of order r.If t2k6 and G is super (t+k1)-edge-connected of order r+1, then G is t-strongly Menger-edge-connected of order r.
