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.

## Abstract The __r__βacyclic edge chromatic number of a graph is defined to be the minimum number of colors required to produce an edge coloring of the graph such that adjacent edges receive different colors and every cycle __C__ has at least min(|__C__|, __r__) colors. We show that (__r__βββ2)__d
We show that a regular graph G of order at least 6 whose complement c is bipartite has total chromatic number d(G) + 1 if and only if (i) G is not a complete graph, and (ii) G#K when n is even. As an aid in"';he proof of this, we also show that , for n>4, if the edges of a Hamiltonian path of Kzn a
The total chromatic number XT(G) of a graph G is the least number of colours needed to colour the edges and vertices of G so that no incident or adjacent elements receive the same colour. This paper shows that if G is odd order and regular of degree d > [(&? -1)/6]1 V(G)/, then a necessary and suffi
## Abstract A graph __G__ with maximum degree Ξ and edge chromatic number $\chi\prime({G}) > \Delta$ is __edge__βΞβ__critical__ if $\chi\prime{(G-e)} = \Delta$ for every edge __e__ of __G__. It is proved that the average degree of an edgeβΞβcritical graph is at least ${2\over 3}{(\Delta+1)}$ if $\D
## Abstract In 1968, Vizing [Uaspekhi Mat Nauk 23 (1968) 117β134; Russian Math Surveys 23 (1968), 125β142] conjectured that for any edge chromatic critical graph ${{G}} = ({{V}}, {{E}})$ with maximum degree $\Delta$, $|{{E}}| \geq {{{1}}\over {{2}}}\{(\Delta {{- 1}})|{{V}}| + {{3}}\}$. This conject
