Abstract

Let G be a finite graph and κ(G) the vertex connectivity of G. A chordal graph G is called chordal^* if no vertex of G is adjacent to all other vertices of G. Using the syzygy theory in commutative algebra, it is proved that every chordal^* graph G on n vertices satisfies κ(G) ≤ (n - 1) - \lceil2√(n)-2 \rceil. Furthermore, given an integer 0 ≤ κ≤ (n - 1) - \lceil2√(n)-2 \rceil, a chordal^* graph G on n vertices satisfying κ(G) = κ is constructed.
