证明了以下结果。每个n-连通图都包含一个顶点,它的去掉可以得到一个也是n-连通的图,或者包含一个度小于(3n 1)/2的顶点。图G称为n连通的,如果从图G中去掉少于n个的顶点既没有断开它的连通,也没有把它归结为由单个顶点组成的平凡图。图G是n连通的n的最大值称为它的连通度,记为K(G)。G的最小次数由5(G)表示;K(G)和lt;6(G)是众所周知的。图G称为临界n连通的,如果对G的每个顶点v,K(G)=n且K(G-v)=n-i。类似地,如果K(G)=n且对G的每条边e,K(G-e)=n1,则图G是极小n连通的。本文的目的是给出一个图是临界n连通的一个必要条件,并讨论相关的问题。由于1-连通图是非平凡连通图,并且由于每个非平凡连通图G至少有两个顶点u和v,因此
The following result is proved. Every n-connected graph contains either a vertex whose removal results in a graph which is also n-connected or a vertex of degree less than (3n 1)/2. Introduction. A graph G is said to be n-connected if the removal of fewer than n vertices from G neither disconnects it nor reduces it to the trivial graph consisting of a single vertex. The maximum value of n for which a graph G is n-connected is called its connectivity and is denoted by K(G). The minimum degree of G is designated by 5(G); the inequality K(G)<6(G) is well known. A graph G is said to be critically n-connected if K(G)=n and K(G-v)= n-I for each vertex v of G. Analogously, a graph G is minimally nconnected if K(G)=n and for each edge e of G, K(G-e)=n1. The object of this article is to present a necessary condition for a graph to be critically n-connected and to discuss related topics. Since 1-connected graphs are the nontrivial connected graphs and since every nontrivial connected graph G has at least two vertices u and v such
