Abstract: A graph G is spanning k -connected if for any two vertices u , v ∈ V (G) and for all integers s with 0 ≤ s ≤ k , G has a subgraph H consisting of s -internally disjoint (u , v) -paths such that V (H) = V (G). Thus, if G is spanning 1-connected, it implies that G is Hamilton-connected. The circuit graph of a matroid M is a simple graph G (M) which has vertex set V (G) = C (M) , the collection of all circuits of M , and edge set E (G) = { C C ′ | C , C ′ ∈ C (M) , | C ∩ C ′ | ≠ 0 }. We prove that every circuit graph of a connected matroid containing at least 4 circuits is spanning 3-connected. This result extends a former result on Hamilton-connectedness of circuit graph of matroids in Li and Liu (2008). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
