  • The generalized $ k $-connectivity $ \kappa_k(G) $ of a graph $ G $, introduced by Hager in 1985, is a natural generalization of the classical connectivity. As a natural counterpart, Li et al. proposed the concept of generalized $ k $-edge-connectivity $ \lambda_k(G) $. In this paper, we obtain exact values or sharp upper and lower bounds of $ \kappa_k(G) $ and $ \lambda_k(G) $ for join, corona and cluster graphs.
