Let G be a connected graph with minimum degree δ(G) and vertexconnectivity κ(G). The graph G is k-connected if κ(G) ≥ k, maximally connected if κ(G) = δ(G), and super-connected (or super-κ) if every minimum vertex-cut isolates a vertex of minimum degree. In this paper, we show that a connected graph or a connected triangle-free graph is k-connected, maximally connected or superconnected if the number of edges or the spectral radius is large enough.
A pebbling move on a graph
G
consists of the removal of two pebbles from one vertex and the placement of one pebble on an adjacent vertex. Rubbling is a version of pebbling where an additional move is allowed, which is also called the strict rubbling move. In this new move, one pebble each is removed from
u
and
v
adjacent to a vertex
w
, and one pebble is added on
w
. The rubbling number of a graph
G
is the smallest number
m
, such that one pebble can be moved to each vertex from every distribution with
m
pebbles. The optimal rubbling number of a graph
G
is the smallest number
m
, such that one pebble can be moved to each vertex from some distribution with
m
pebbles. In this paper, we give short proofs to determine the rubbling number of cycles and the optimal rubbling number of paths, cycles, and the grid

The definition of a Detour–Harary index is ω H ( G ) = 1 2 ∑ u , v ∈ V ( G ) 1 l ( u , v | G ) , where G is a simple and connected graph, and l ( u , v | G ) is equal to the length of the longest path between vertices u and v. In this paper, we obtained the maximum Detour–Harary index about unicyclic graphs, bicyclic graphs, and cacti, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
