Ore-type conditions implying 2-factors consisting of short cycles

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

For every graph G, let σ2 (G) = min {d (x) + d (y) : x y ∉ E (G)}. The main result of the paper says that every n-vertex graph G with σ2 (G) ≥ frac(4 n, 3) - 1 contains each spanning subgraph H all whose components are isomorphic to graphs in {K1, K2, C3, K4-, C5+}. This generalizes the earlier results of Justesen, Enomoto, and Wang, and is a step towards an Ore-type analogue of the Bollobás-Eldridge-Catlin Conjecture.
