Abstract
Let G be a finite graph with H as a star complement for an eigenvalue other than 0 or -1. Let ¦Ê(G), ¦Ä(G) denote respectively the vertex-connectivity and minimum degree of G. We prove that ¦Ê(G) is controlled by ¦Ä(G) and ¦Ê(H). In particular, for each k¡ÊN there exists a smallest non-negative integer f(k) such that ¦Ê(G)?k whenever ¦Ê(H)?k and ¦Ä(G)?f(k). We show that f(1)=0, f(2)=2, f(3)=3, f(4)=5 and f(5)=7.
