Then consider an arbitrary vertex s and another set of m arbitrary vertices d1, d2, ... . Is it true that we can always find vertex disjoint paths from s to each of these vertices di ? I can't prove or disprove it. If the claim is not true, is it true in case of vertex symmetric graphs of connectivity m ? I'll be grateful if anyone can give me any pointers to existing literature or throw any light on the problem. Thank you so much.
