In this paper the authors study the edge-integrity of graphs. Edge-integrity is a very useful measure of the vulnerability of a network, in particular a communication network, to disruption through the deletion of edges. A number of problems are examined, including some Nordhaus-Gaddum type results.

β¦ Synopsis
A graph is called honest if its edge-integrity equals its order. It is shown in this paper that except for the path of length 3, every graph that is not honest has an honest complemenk. This result is extended to complements of products and applied to the Nordhaus-Gaddum theory for edgeintegrity.

Let Β΅ be an eigenvalue of the graph G with multiplicity m. A star complement for Β΅ in G is an induced subgraph G -X such that |X| = m and Β΅ is not an eigenvalue of G -X. Some general observations concerning graphs with the complete bipartite graph K r,s (r + s > 2) as a star complement are followed
In this paper we establish two results concerning completely positive graphs and their complements: (1) the complement of a completely positive graph on n 9 vertices is not completely positive; (2) the spectral radius of the adjacency matrix of a completely positive graph on n 6 vertices is at most
If X is a geodesic metric space and x 1 , x 2 , x 3 β X , a geodesic triangle T = {x 1 , x 2 , x 3 } is the union of the three geodesics [x 1 x 2 ], [x 2 x 3 ] and [x 3 x 1 ] in X . The space X is Ξ΄-hyperbolic (in the Gromov sense) if any side of T is contained in a Ξ΄-neighborhood of the union of th
