In 1972 Mader proved that every graph with average degree at least $4k$ has a $(k+1)$-connected subgraph with more than $2k$ vertices. We improve this bound by showing that the constant $4$ can be replaced by $3+\frac{1}{3}$; this bound is sharp.

  1. Hypergraphs without Subgraphs of Given Connectivity

    math.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    The extremal number of edges in n-vertex r-uniform hypergraphs without a (k+1)-connected subgraph is determined asymptotically for r ≥ 3, with tight bounds when connected components are bounded by Ck vertices.
