Mader conjectured that every non-complete \(k\)-critically \(n\)-connected graph has \((2 k+2)\) pairwise disjoint fragments. The conjecture was verified by Mader for \(k=1\). In this paper, we prove that this conjecture holds also for \(k=2\). 1993 Academic Press. Inc.

Abstract
Madar conjectured that every kโcritical nโconnected nonโcomplete graph G has (2__k__ + 2) pairwise disjoint fragments. We show that Mader's conjecture holds if the order of G is greater than (k + 2)n. From this, it implies that two other conjectures on kโcritical nโconnected graphs posed by Entringer, Slater, and Mader also hold if the cardinality of the graphs is large. ยฉ 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The main aim of the present note is the proof of a variant of the MENGER-WHITNEY theorem on n-connected graphs (Theorem 1 below). While the result itself is well known (being, for example, a special case of the theorem of MENGER mentioned in Remark I), two of its aspects deserve attention. First, it
A graph G is (n, \*)-connected if it satisfies the following conditions: (1) |V(G)| n+1; (2) for any subset S V(G) and any subset L E(G) with \* |S| +|L| <n\*, G&S&L is connected. The (n, \*)-connectivity is a common extension of both the vertex-connectivity and the edge-connectivity. An (n, 1)-conn
We prove that every n-connected graph G of sufficiently large order contains a connected graph H on four vertices such that G ร V รฐH ร is รฐn ร 3ร-connected. This had been conjectured in Mader (High connectivity keeping sets in n-connected graphs, Combinatorica, to appear). Furthermore, we prove uppe
A graph G is N 2 -locally connected if for every vertex v in G, the edges not incident with v but having at least one end adjacent to v in G induce a connected graph. In 1990, Ryja ยดc หek conjectured that every 3-connected N 2 -locally connected claw-free graph is Hamiltonian. This conjecture is pro
