## Abstract The edgeβtoughness __T__~1~(__G__) of a graph __G__ is defined as equation image where the minimum is taken over every edgeβcutset __X__ that separates __G__ into Ο (__G__ β __X__) components. We determine this quantity for some special classes of graphs that also gives the arboricity

For an integer c, 1 <c < 1 V(G) I-1, we define the cth-order edye toughness of a graph G as
The objective of this paper is to study this generalized concept of edge toughness. Besides giving the bounds and relationships of the cth-order edge toughness T,(G) of a graph G, we prove that 's,(G) 2 k if and only if G has k edge-disjoint spanning forests with exactly c components'. We also study the 'balancity' of a graph G of order p and size q, which is defined as the smallest positive integer c such that r,(G)=q/( p-c).

Let G be a connected k-regular vertex-transitive graph on n vertices. For S V(G) let d(S) denote the number of edges between S and V(G)"S. We extend results of Mader and Tindell by showing that if d(S)< 2 9 (k+1) 2 for some S V(G) with 1 3 (k+1) |S| 1 2 n, then G has a factor F such that GΓE(F ) is
Let G be a graph and let t Υ 0 be a real number. Then, We discuss how the toughness of (spanning) subgraphs of G and related graphs depends on (G), we give some sufficient degree conditions implying that (G) Υ t, and we study which subdivisions of 2-connected graphs have minimally 2-tough squares.
