1 Introduction

e stability of a communication network is of primeimportance for any network designer A shrinking networkeventually loses links or nodes its effectiveness is contin-uously decreasing and network becomes vulnerable Manygraph theoretic parameters have been introduced for themeasurement of vulnerability Some of them are connectivitytoughness integrity and rupture degree e integrity ofa graph is one of the well explored concepts which wasintroduced by Barefoot et al [1]

Denition 1 e integrity of a graph 119866119866 is denoted by 119868119868119868119866119866119868and dened by 119868119868119868119866119866119868 =min|119878119878|119878119878119878119868119866119866119866119878119878119868 119878 119878119878 119878 119878119878119868119866119866119868119878 where119878119878119868119866119866 119866 119878119878119868 is the order of a maximum component of 119866119866 119866 119878119878

Denition 2 An 119868119868-set of 119866119866 is any (proper) subset 119878119878 of 119878119878119868119866119866119868for which 119868119868119868119866119866119868 119868 |119878119878| 119878 119878119878119868119866119866 119866 119878119878119868

3 Concluding Remarks

e domination and vulnerability of network are two impor-tant concepts for the network security We have studied animportant measure of vulnerability known as dominationintegrity and investigate domination integrity of splittinggraphs of path and cycle e results reported here throwsome light in the direction to nd the domination integrityof larger graph obtained from the given graph

3 Concluding Remarks

e domination and vulnerability of network are two impor-tant concepts for the network security We have studied animportant measure of vulnerability known as dominationintegrity and investigate domination integrity of splittinggraphs of path and cycle e results reported here throwsome light in the direction to nd the domination integrityof larger graph obtained from the given graph

3 Concluding Remarks

e domination and vulnerability of network are two impor-tant concepts for the network security We have studied animportant measure of vulnerability known as dominationintegrity and investigate domination integrity of splittinggraphs of path and cycle e results reported here throwsome light in the direction to nd the domination integrityof larger graph obtained from the given graph

3 Concluding Remarks

e domination and vulnerability of network are two impor-tant concepts for the network security We have studied animportant measure of vulnerability known as dominationintegrity and investigate domination integrity of splittinggraphs of path and cycle e results reported here throwsome light in the direction to nd the domination integrityof larger graph obtained from the given graph

3 Concluding Remarks

e domination and vulnerability of network are two impor-tant concepts for the network security We have studied animportant measure of vulnerability known as dominationintegrity and investigate domination integrity of splittinggraphs of path and cycle e results reported here throwsome light in the direction to nd the domination integrityof larger graph obtained from the given graph

3 Concluding Remarks

e domination and vulnerability of network are two impor-tant concepts for the network security We have studied animportant measure of vulnerability known as dominationintegrity and investigate domination integrity of splittinggraphs of path and cycle e results reported here throwsome light in the direction to nd the domination integrityof larger graph obtained from the given graph
