Abstract
The edge-tenacity $T_e(G)$ of a graph G was defined as\begin{center} $T_e(G)=\displaystyle \min_{F\subset E(G)}\{\frac{\mid F\mid +\tau(G-F)}{\omega(G-F)}\}$\end{center}where the minimum is taken over all edge cutset F of G. We defineG-F to be the graph induced by the edges of $E(G)-F$, $\tau(G-F)$is ...

The edge-tenacity $T_e(G)$ of a graph G was defined as\begin{center} $T_e(G)=\displaystyle \min_{F\subset E(G)}\{\frac{\mid F\mid +\tau(G-F)}{\omega(G-F)}\}$\end{center}where the minimum is taken over all edge cutset F of G. We defineG-F to be the graph induced by the edges of $E(G)-F$, $\tau(G-F)$is the number of edges in the largest component of the graphinduced by G-F and $\omega(G-F)$ is the number of components of$G-F$. A set $F\subset E(G)$ is said to be a $T_e$-set of G if\begin{center} $T_e(G)=\frac{\mid F\mid+\tau(G-F)}{\omega(G-F)}$\end{center}Each component has at least one edge. In this paper we introducea new invariant edge-tenacity, for graphs. it is another vulnerability measure.we present several properties and bounds on the edge-tenacity. we alsocompute the edge-tenacity of some classes of graphs.

Numerous networks as, for example, road networks, electrical networks and communication networks can be modeled by a graph. Many attempts have been made to determine how well such a network is "connected" or stated differently how much effort is required to break down communication in the system between at least some nodes. Two well-known measures that indicate how "reliable" a graph is are the "Tenacity" and "Edge-tenacity" of a graph. In this paper we present results on the tenacity and edge-tenacity, $T_e(G)$, a new invariant, for several classes of graphs. Basic properties and some bounds for edge-tenacity, $T_e(G)$, are developed. Edge-tenacity values for various classes of graphs are calculated and future work andconcluding remarks are summarized
