dc.description.abstract | Let G be a (multi)graph of order n and let u, v be vertices of G. The maximum number
of internally disjoint u–v paths in G is denoted by κG(u, v), and the maximum number
of edge-disjoint u–v paths in G is denoted by λG(u, v). The average connectivity of G
is defined by κ(G) =
Σ
κG(u, v)/
(n2
)
, and the average edge-connectivity of G is defined
by λ(G) =
Σ
λG(u, v)/
(n2
)
, where both sums run over all unordered pairs of vertices
{u, v} ⊆ V(G). A graph G is called ideally connected if κG(u, v) = min{deg(u), deg(v)} for
all unordered pairs of vertices {u, v} of G.
We prove that every minimally 2-connected graph of order n with largest average
connectivity is bipartite, with the set of vertices of degree 2 and the set of vertices of
degree at least 3 being the partite sets. We use this structure to prove that κ(G) < 9
4 for
any minimally 2-connected graph G. This bound is asymptotically tight, and we prove
that every extremal graph of order n is obtained from some ideally connected nearly
regular graph on roughly n/4 vertices and 3n/4 edges by subdividing every edge. We
also prove that λ(G) < 9
4 for any minimally 2-edge-connected graph G, and provide a
similar characterization of the extremal graphs. | es |
