Math Problem Statement
Let G be a k-connected graph and let v1, v2, . . . , vk be k distinct vertices of G. Let H the graph obtained from G by adding a new vertex w and k new edges joining w and v1, v2, . . . , vk, respectively. Prove that κ(H) = k by using Menger’s theorem and Whitney’s inequalities.
