The $k$--token graph $F_k(G)$ of $G$ is the graph whose vertices are the $k$-subsets of $V(G)$, where two vertices are adjacent in $F_k(G)$ whenever their symmetric difference is an edge of $G$. In this paper we show that if $G$ is a tree, then the connectivity of $F_k(G)$ is equal to the minimum degree of $F_k(G)$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-04-30T00:25:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "token graph", "connectivity", "simple graph", "symmetric difference", "minimum degree" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
