Abstract

Hasunuma [J. Graph Theory 102 (2023) 423-435] conjectured that for any tree TT of order mm, every kk-connected (or kk-edge-connected) graph GG with minimum degree at least k+m1k+m-1 contains a tree TTT'\cong T such that GE(T)G-E(T') is still kk-connected (or kk-edge connected). Hasunuma verified this conjecture for k2k\leq 2. In this paper, we confirm this conjecture for k=3k=3.
