An $O(k\log(n/k))$ Bound on Spanning Bipartite Connectivity
For integers $1\le k\le n/2$, let $f(k,n)$ be the least integer $s$ such that every $s$-connected graph on $n$ vertices contains a spanning bipartite $k$-connected subgraph. Thomassen conjectured that $f(k,n)$ is bounded by a function of $k$ alone. Delcourt and Ferber proved $f(k,n)=O(k^3\log n)$, and Yuster subsequent...
