Abstract

The construction of most reliable networks is investigated. In particular, the study of restricted edge connectivity shows that general Harary graphs are max λ-min mi for all i=λ, λ+1,....2λ- 3. As a consequence, this implies that for each pair of positive integers n and e, there is a graph of n vertices and e edges that is max λ-min mi for all i= λ,λ + 1,....2λ - 3. General Harary graphs that are max λ-min mi for all i= λ, λ + 1,.... 2λ - 2 are also constructed.
