Abstract
To provide more accurate indicator for the fault-tolerance of networks, structure connectivity and substructure connectivity have been introduced. H-structure connectivity \(\kappa (G;H)\) is the minimum number of subgraphs isomorphic to H in G, such that the deletion of those subgraphs disconnects G. H-substructure connectivity \(\kappa ^s(G;H)\) is the minimum number of subgraphs isomorphic to connected subgraphs of H in G, such that the deletion of those subgraphs disconnects G. In this paper, we establish star structure and star substructure connectivity of Cayley graphs generated by transposition trees, which include bubble-sort graph and star graph.
