β¦ Synopsis
Let G be a simple graph of order n such that every vertex of degree 1 is adjacent to a vertex of degree at least 3. In this work, we prove that the line graph L(G) has a 2-factor with at most n-1 3 components if every odd branch-bond of G has a shortest branch of length 2. This is a best possible result which can be thought of as a counterpart of the main result in Fujisawa et al. (2007) [8].

## Abstract Halin's Theorem characterizes those infinite connected graphs that have an embedding in the plane with no accumulation points, by exhibiting the list of excluded subgraphs. We generalize this by obtaining a similar characterization of which infinite connected graphs have an embedding in
A graph is 2K,-free if it does not contain an independent pair of edges as an induced subgraph. We show that if G is 2K,-free and has maximum degree A(G) = D, then G has at most 5D2/4 edges if D is even. If D is odd, this bound can be improved to (5D\* -20 + 1)/4. The extremal graphs are unique.
