We prove that every n-connected graph G of sufficiently large order contains a connected graph H on four vertices such that G Γ V Γ°H Γ is Γ°n Γ 3Γ-connected. This had been conjectured in Mader (High connectivity keeping sets in n-connected graphs, Combinatorica, to appear). Furthermore, we prove uppe

Su, J., On locally k-critically n-connected graphs, Discrete Mathematics 120 (1993) 183-190. Let 0 # W'g V(G). 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 Fn W#@I. In this paper we prove that every non-complete W-locally (n, k)-graph has (2k+2) distinct fragments and 1 WI >2k+2. From this result it follows that: (1) Let G be a non-complete (n. k)-graph. If all ends of G are proper, then G has (2k + 2) pairwise disjoint ends.
(2) Slater's conjecture on (n, k)-graphs holds, i.e., the complete graph Kn+ 1 is the unique (n, k)graph for 2k>n.

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 A graph __G__ is locally __n__βconnected, __n__ β₯ 1, if the subgraph induced by the neighborhood of each vertex is __n__βconnected. We prove that every connected, locally 2βconnected graph containing no induced subgraph isomorphic to __K__~1,3~ is panconnected.
