Abstract

Let H=(V, E) be a connected hypergraph consisting of a vertex set V and an edge set E. For SE(H), S is a restricted edge-cut, if H\S is disconnected and there are no isolated vertices in H\S. The restricted edge-connectivity, denoted by λ'(H), is defined as the minimum cardinality over all restricted edge-cuts. The edgedegree dH(e) of an edge eE(H) is defined as the number of edges adjacent to e, and the minimum edge-degree of H is denoted by ξ(H). The hypergraph H is called λ'-optimal, if λ'(H)=ξ(H). In this paper, we consider the restricted edge-connectivity and λ'-optimality of hypergraphs and generalize some results on the restricted edge-connectivity and λ'-optimality of graphs to hypergraphs.
