The $g$-extra connectivity of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a set of vertices in $G$, if it exists, whose removal disconnects $G$ and leaves every component with more than $g$ vertices. The strong product $G_1 \\boxtimes G_2$ of graphs $G_1=(V_{1}, E_{1})$ and $G_2=(V_{2}, E_{2})$ is the graph with vertex set $V(G_1 \\boxtimes G_2)=V_{1} \\times V_{2}$, where two distinct vertices $(x_{1}, x_{2}), (y_{1}, y_{2}) \\in V_{1} \\times V_{2}$ are adjacent in $G_1 \\boxtimes G_2$ if and only if $x_{i}=y_{i}$ or $x_{i} y_{i} \\in E_{i}$ for $i=1, 2$. In this paper, we obtain the $g$-extra connectivity of the strong product of two paths, the strong product of a path and a cycle, and the strong product of two cycles.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-08-17T16:57:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "strong product", "extra connectivity", "minimum cardinality", "removal disconnects", "vertex set" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
