✦ Synopsis
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 a given number of vertices.

Let G = ( y E) be a graph with vertex set V of size n and edge set E of size m. A vertex LJ E V is called a hinge vertex if the distance of any two vertices becomes longer after u is removed. A graph without hinge vertex is called a hinge-free graph. In general, a graph G is k-geodetically connected
Using Ryja c ek's closure, we prove that any 3-connected claw-free graph of order & and minimum degree $ &+38 10 is hamiltonian. This improves a theorem of Kuipers and Veldman who got the same result with the stronger hypotheses $ &+29 8 and & sufficiently large and nearly proves their conjecture sa
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.
