Abstract :
C.A. Barefoot, et. al. [4] introduced the concept of the integrity of a
graph. It is an useful measure of vulnerability and it is defined as follows. I(G) =
min{|S| + m(G − S) : S ⊂ V (G)}, where m(G − S) denotes the order of the largest
component in G − S. Unlike the connectivity measures, integrity shows not only the
difficulty to break down the network but also the damage that has been caused. A
subset S of V (G) is said to be an I-set if I(G) = |S| + m(G − S). We introduced a new
vulnerability parameter in [4],namely domination integrity of a graph G. It is a defined
as DI(G) = min{|S| + m(G − S)}, where S is a dominating set of G and m(G − S)
denotes the order of the largest component in G − S. K.S. Bagga,et. al. [2] gave a
formula for I(K2 × Cn). In this paper, we give a correct formula for I(K2 × Cn). We
find some results on the integrity and domination integrity of gear graphs.
