Abstract:

Let H be a connected hypergraph. The hypergraph H is called maximally edge connected if its edge connectivity is equal to minimum degree. The hypergraph H is super-edge-connected, if every minimum edge-cut consists of edges adjacent to a vertex of minimum degree. In this paper we give simple degree sequence conditions for uniform linear hypergraphs to be maximally edge-connected. Also, we give a sufficient condition for uniform linear hypergraphs to be super-edge-connected. These results generalize previous results on graphs due to Dankelmann and Volkmann(1997), Hellwig and Volkmann(2005) to hypergraphs.

Key words: hypergraph, edge connectivity, maximally edgeconnected, degree sequence, super-edge-connected, minimum degree
