Description
Summary:The generalized k-connectivity κk(G) of a graph G, mentioned by Hager in 1985, is a natural generalization of the path-version of the classical connectivity. As a natural counterpart of this concept, Li et al. in 2011 introduced the concept of generalized k-edge-connectivity which is defined as λk(G) = min{λG(S) | S ⊆ V (G) and |S| = k}, where λG(S) denote the maximum number ℓ of pairwise edge-disjoint trees T1, T2, . . . , Tℓ in G such that S ⊆ V (Ti) for 1 ≤ i ≤ ℓ. In this paper we get a sharp lower bound for the generalized 3-edge-connectivity of the strong product of any two connected graphs.
