Abstract

A space XX is nn-arc connected (respectively, nn-circle connected) if for any choice of at most nn points there is an arc (respectively, a circle) in XX containing the specified points. We study nn-arc connectedness and nn-circle connectedness in compactifications of locally finite graphs and the slightly more general class of graph-like continua, uncovering a striking difference in their behaviour regarding nn-arc and -circle connectedness.
