Abstract
A linkage of order k of a graph G is a subgraph with k components, each of which is a path. A linkage is vital if it spans all vertices, and no other linkage connects the same pairs of end vertices. We give a characterization of the graphs with a vital linkage of order 2: they are certain minors of a family of highly structured graphs.

A graph is (t; r)-regular i it has at least one independent t-set of vertices and the open neighborhood of any such set contains exactly r vertices. Our goal is to show that when t ΒΏ 3 and the order is su ciently large, then the structure of (t; r)-regular graphs is similar to, but not exactly the s
