Abstract

For a connected graph G=(V,E), an edge set S@?E is a 3-restricted edge cut if G-S is disconnected and every component of G-S has order at least three. The cardinality of a minimum 3-restricted edge cut of G is the 3-restricted edge connectivity of G, denoted by @l"3(G). A graph G is called minimally 3-restricted edge connected if @l"3(G-e)
