## Abstract For a vertex __v__ of a graph __G__, we denote by __d__(__v__) the __degree__ of __v__. The __local connectivity__ ΞΊ(__u, v__) of two vertices __u__ and __v__ in a graph __G__ is the maximum number of internally disjoint __u__ β__v__ paths in __G__, and the __connectivity__ of __G__ is

β¦ Synopsis
The local connectivity ΞΊ(u, v) of two vertices u and v in a graph G is the maximum number of internally disjoint u-v paths in G, and the connectivity of G is defined as
} for all pairs u and v of vertices in G. Let Ξ΄(G) be the minimum degree of G. We call a graph G maximally connected when ΞΊ(G) = Ξ΄(G) and maximally locally connected when
for all pairs u and v of vertices in G. In 1993, Topp and Volkmann [J. Topp, L. Volkmann, Sufficient conditions for equality of connectivity and minimum degree of a graph, J. Graph Theory 17 (1993) 695-700] proved that a p-partite graph of order n(G) is maximally connected when
As an extension of this result, we will show in this work that these conditions even guarantee that G is maximally locally connected.

## Abstract The topological approach to the study of infinite graphs of Diestel and KΓhn has enabled several results on Hamilton cycles in finite graphs to be extended to locally finite graphs. We consider the result that the line graph of a finite 4βedgeβconnected graph is hamiltonian. We prove a
Given a graph G and target values r(u; v) prescribed for each pair of vertices u and v, we consider the problem of augmenting G by a smallest set F of new edges such that the resulting graph G+F has at least r(u; v) internally disjoint paths between each pair of vertices u and v. We show that the pr

The graph G is called a W-locally k-critically n-connected graph or simply a W-locally (n, k)-graph, if for all V'G W with 1 V'I 6 k and each fragment F of G we have that K(G-V')=n-1 V' and
## Abstract A graph is locally connected if for each vertex Ξ½ of degree __β§2__, the subgraph induced by the vertices adjacent to Ξ½ is connected. In this paper we establish a sharp threshold function for local connectivity. Specifically, if the probability of an edge of a labeled graph of order __n_
