Abstract

The vulnerability of the network is one of the core contents of network security research, and there are several variables to test the network vulnerability from the perspective of network structure. For example, toughness, isolated toughness and their variants are defined from graph theory point of view, and these parameters works during the design phase to test the firmness of network. This paper studies the relationship between the existence of path factor and some variants which connect with vulnerability of networks. Moreover, we show that some of bounds of these variants are sharp.
