Abstract: We consider the graphs whose edges are marked by the integers (weights) from 0 to q1 (zero corresponds to no-edge). Such graph is called additive if its vertices can be marked in such a way that the weight of every edge is equal to the modulo-q sum of weights of the two incident vertices. By a switching of a graph we mean the modulo-q sum of the graph with some additive graph on the same vertex set. A graph with n vertices is called switching separable if some of its switchings does not have a connected component of order n or n1. We consider the following test for the switching separability: if removing any vertex of a graph G results in a switching separable graph, then G is switching separable itself. We prove this test for odd q and characterize the exceptions when q is even. We establish a connection between the switching separability of a graph and the reducibility of (n1)-ary quasigroups constructed from this graph.
