Abstract: A subset F of edges in a connected graph G is a restricted edge-cut if G-F is disconnected and every component has at least two vertices. A graph G is super restricted edge-connected (super-λ′ for short) if every minimum restricted edge-cut of G isolates at least one edge. The edge fault-tolerance ρ′(G) of a super-λ′ graph G is the maximum integer m for which G-F is still super-λ′ for any subset FE(G) with |F|≤m. It was shown that
