Asymptotic minimum-degree interpolation conjecture for 2-connected subgraphs

From papers

Let GG be a 2-connected graph of order nn, and let δ(G)\delta(G) denote its minimum degree.

Asymptotic interpolation conjecture. If k3k\geqslant3 and

δ(G)nk,\delta(G)\geqslant\frac{n}{k},

then there exists an integer n0=f(k)n_0=f(k) such that, whenever nn0n\geqslant n_0, GG has a 22-connected subgraph of order \ell for each {4,,n}\ell\in\{4,\ldots,n\}.

This is proposed as a weaker alternative to Yin and Wu's minimum-degree conjecture. The paper motivates it by noting that the authors suspect the stronger conjecture is false for infinitely many values of nn; whether this asymptotic statement holds remains open in the supplied text.
