Abstract: Let G = (V , E) be a graph, and let S ⊆ V (G) be a set of size at least 2. A path in G is called an S -path if it contains all vertices of S. Denote by π G (S) the maximum number of internally disjoint S -paths in G. The k -path-connectivity π k (G) of G is then defined as the minimum π G (S) , where S ranges over all k -subsets of V (G). The n -dimensional balanced hypercube B H n , introduced by Wu and Huang as a variant of the hypercube, is a widely used network topology. In this paper, we investigate the k -path-connectivity of B H n for k = 3 and 4. We first show that for 3 ⩽ k ⩽ 4 n − 2 n , the k -path-connectivity of B H n is bounded above by n. Moreover, we prove that this upper bound is tight for k = 3 and 4, i.e., π 3 (B H n) = π 4 (B H n) = n. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
