The old well-known result of Chartrand, Kaugars and Lick says that every k-connected graph G with minimum degree at least 3k/2 has a vertex v such that G - v is still k-connected. In this paper, we consider a generalization of the above result [G. Chartrand, A. Kaigars, D.R. Lick, Critically n-connected graphs, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 32 (1972) 63-68]. We prove the following result:Suppose G is a k-connected graph with minimum degree at least [3k/2] + 2. Then G has an edge e such that G - V(e) is still k-connected.The bound on the minimum degree is essentially best possible. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
