Özet
The super-connectivity (super-edge-connectivity) of a connected graph G is the minimum number of vertices (edges) that need to be deleted from Gin order to disconnect G without creating isolated vertices. We determine when the generalized Petersen graphs GP[n, k] are super-connected and super edge-connected, and show that their super-connectivity and their super-edge-connectivity are both equal to four when n is not an element of{2k, 3k}. These results partially answer a question by Harary (1983) and are of interest especially in the study of reliability and fault tolerance of interconnection networks, since the graphs in this class are good candidates for such networks.
