The reinforcement number of a graph is a vulnerability parameter of a graph. We have investigated a refinement that involves the average lower reinforcement number of this parameter. The lower reinforcement number, denoted by r(e*) (G), is the minimum cardinality of reinforcement set in G that contains the edge e* of the complement graph G. The average lower reinforcement number of G is defined by r(av)(G) = 1/ |E(G)| Sigma(e*)is an element of E((G) over bar) r(e*) (G). In this paper, we define the average lower reinforcement number of a graph and we present the exact values for some well-known graph families.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGraph vulnerabilityconnectivitynetwork design and communicationdomination numberreinforcement numberaverage lower reinforcement numberTHE AVERAGE LOWER REINFORCEMENT NUMBER OF A GRAPHArticle10.1051/ita/20160152-s2.0-849891845391442Q213550WOS:000388460000002Q4
