In this paper, we study the restricted $h$-connectivity of the balanced hypercube $BH_n$ and determine that $\\kappa^1(BH_n)=\\kappa^2(BH_n)=4n-4$ for $n\\geq2$. We also obtain a sharp upper bound of $\\kappa^3(BH_n)$ and $\\kappa^4(BH_n)$ of $n$-dimension balanced hypercube for $n\\geq3$ ($n\\neq4$). In particular, we show that $\\kappa^3(BH_3)=\\kappa^4(BH_3)=12$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-05-22T09:02:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "68R10", "05C40" ], "keywords": [ "connectivity", "sharp upper bound", "dimension balanced hypercube", "removal disconnects", "minimum cardinality" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
