## Abstract For a graph __G__, let __n__(__G__), ฮบ(__G__) and ฮด(__G__) denote the order, the connectivity, and the minimum degree of __G__, respectively. The paper contains some conditions on __G__ implying ฮบ(__G__) = ฮด(__G__). One of the conditions is that __n__(__G__) โค ฮด(__G__)(2__p__ โ1)/(2__p_

Abstract
Let G be a connected graph of order p โฅ 2, with edgeโconnectivity ฮบ~1~(G) and minimum degree ฮด(G). It is shown her ethat in order to obtain the equality ฮบ~1~(G) = ฮด(G), it is sufficient that, for each vertex x of minimum degree in G, the vertices in the neighbourhood N(x) of x have sufficiently large degree sum. This result implies a previous result of Chartrand, which required that ฮด(G) โฅ [p/2].

## Abstract Using the wellโknown Theorem of Turรกn, we present in this paper degree sequence conditions for the equality of edgeโconnectivity and minimum degree, depending on the clique number of a graph. Different examples will show that these conditions are best possible and independent of all the
## Abstract Restricted edge connectivity is a more refined network reliability index than edge connectivity. A restricted edge cut __F__ of a connected graph __G__ is an edge cut such that __G__โ__F__ has no isolated vertex. The restricted edge connectivity ฮปโฒ is the minimum cardinality over all re
It is known that a noncomplete }-connected graph of minimum degree of at least w 5} 4 x contains a }-contractible edge, i.e., an edge whose contraction yields again a }-connected graph. Here we prove the stronger statement that a noncomplete }-connected graph for which the sum of the degrees of any
