Abstract
Let p β₯ 2 be a fixed integer. Let G be a simple and 2βedgeβconnected graph on n vertices, and let g be the girth of G. If d(u) + d(v) β₯ (2/(g β 2))((n/p) β 4 + g) holds whenever uv β E(G), and if n is sufficiently large compared to p, then either G has a spanning eulerian subgraph or G can be contracted to a graph G~1~ of order at most p without a spanning eulerian subgraph. Furthermore, we characterize the graphs that satisfy the conditions above such that G~1~ has order p and does not have any spanning eulerian subgraph. Β© 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

We ask, When does a graph G have a subgraph I' such that the vertices of odd degree in form a specified set S C V ( G ) , such that G -E(T) is connected? If such a subgraph can be found for a suitable choice of S, then this can be applied to problems such as finding a spanning eulerian subgraph of G
The problem of finding a minimum weight k-vertex connected spanning sub-Ε½ . graph in a graph G s V, E is considered. For k G 2, this problem is known to be NP-hard. Based on the paper of Auletta, Dinitz, Nutov, and Parente in this issue, Γ 4 we derive a 3-approximation algorithm for k g 4, 5 . This
