Let P（t, n） and C（t, n） denote the minimum diameter of a connected graph obtained from a single path and a circle of order n plus t extra edges, respectively, and f（t, k） the maximum diameter of a connected graph obtained by deleting t edges from a graph with diameter k. This paper shows that for any integers t ≥4 and n ≥ 5, P（4, n） ≤n-8/t＋1＋ 3, C（t,n）≤n-8/t＋1＋3 if t is odd and C（t,n） ≤n-7/t＋2 ＋3 if t is even; [n-1/5] ≤P（4,n） ≤ [n＋3/5] [n/4]-1≤C（3,n）≤[n/4]; and f（t, k）≥ （t ＋ 1）k - 2t ＋ 4 if k≥3 and is Odd, which improves some known results.
The h-super connectivity κh and the h-super edge-connectivity λh are more refined network reliability indices than the conneetivity and the edge-connectivity. This paper shows that for a connected balanced digraph D and its line digraph L, if D is optimally super edge-connected, then κ1（L） = 2λ1 （D）, and that for a connected graph G and its line graph L, if one of κ1 （L） and λ（G） exists, then κ1（L） = λ2（G）. This paper determines that κ1（B（d, n） is equal to 4d- 8 for n = 2 and d ≥ 4, and to 4d-4 for n ≥ 3 and d ≥ 3, and that κ1（K（d, n）） is equal to 4d- 4 for d 〉 2 and n ≥ 2 except K（2, 2）. It then follows that B（d,n） and K（d, n） are both super connected for any d ≥ 2 and n ≥ 1.
P Kulasinghe and S Bettayeb showed that any multiply-twisted hypercube withfive or more dimensions is not vertex-transitive. This note shows that any multiply-twistedhypercube with four or less dimensions is vertex-transitive, and that any multiply-twistedhypercube with three or larger dimensions is not edge-transitive.
