Fault tolerance is especially important for interconnection networks, since the growing size of networks increases their vulnerability to component failures. A classical measure for the fault tolerance of a network in the case of vertex failures is its connectivity. Given a network based on a graph G and a positive integer h , the 7515009366&_mathId=si1.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0304397515009366&_rdoc=1&_issn=03043975&md5=59987a6d61f506c16f5735be88cd171d" title="Click to view the MathML source">RhhContainer hidden">-connectivity of G is the minimum cardinality of a set of vertices in G, if any, whose deletion disconnects G, and the minimum degree of every connected component is at least h .
