Theorem [Zhu, 2013] One technical requirement is missing
Theorem [Loavsz-Thomassen-Wu-Zhang, 2013] Corollary Theorem [Loavsz-Thomassen-Wu-Zhang, 2013]
Theorem [Zhu, 2013] Lemma 1.
Proof Assume G is (12k-1)-edge connected essentially (2k+1)-unbalanced Assume G has the least number of negative edges among its equivalent signed graphs Q: negative edges of G R: positive edges of G G[R] is 6k-edge connected
