    The authors determine the largest number of edges in a \(k\)-connected graph with \(n\) vertices with the additional property that the deletion of any vertex results in a graph which is not \(k\)-connected. They also characterize the extremal graphs. This result was conjectured in 1984 by \textit{H. J. Krol} and \textit{H. J. Veldman} [Discrete Math. 52, 225-234 (1984; Zbl 0553.05049)].
