Let A(n, k, t) denote the smallest integer e for which every kconnected graph on n vertices can be made (k + t)-connected by adding e new edges. We determine A(n, k, t) for all values of n, k, and t in the case of (directed and undirected) edge-connectivity and also for directed vertex-connectivity

β¦ Synopsis
Let G be a 3-connected graph with minimum degree at least d and at least 2d vertices. For any three distinct vertices X, y, z there is a path from x to z through y and having length at least M -2. In this paper, we characterize those graphs for which no such path has length exceeding 2d -2.
I.
All graphs considered in this paper are simple. For basic graph-theoretic terminology, we refer the reader to [2].
The following was proved in [4,5].
Let G be a 3-connected graph with minimum decree c2t least d and at least 2d -1 vertices, for some positive integer d. Then, for any three vertices x, y, and z in G, there is an (x9 z)-path of length at least 2d -2 which contains y.

A graph G is k-geodetically connected (k-GC) if it is connected and the removal of at least k vertices is required to increase the distance between at least one pair of vertices or reduce G to a single vertex. We completely characterize the class of minimum 3-GC graphs that have the fewest edges for
