Characterization of graphs with vertex-connectivity equal to edge-connectivity

189 Views Asked by At

Are there any attempts to characterize (simple, finite) graphs with vertex-connectivity $\kappa$ equal edge-connectivity $\kappa'$?

In general, $\kappa(G)\leq \kappa'(G)\leq \delta(G)$ where $\delta(G)$ denotes the minimum degree of $G$.

If characterizations are not known (quite possible), I would appreciate lists of widely known necessary or sufficient conditions. The following is a sufficient condition I found in the literature.

If $G$ is a connected edge-transitive graph, then $\kappa(G)=\kappa'(G)=\delta(G)$ (see Corollay 1A in [1]).
