Let m, 1, n be three odd integers such that m < I < n. It is proved that if a graph G has an mfactor and an rrfactor, then it also has an /factor. In addition, we obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of an f-factor, in terms of vertexdeleted subgraphs. All graphs considered here are multi

β¦ Synopsis
We simplify the criterion of Lovasz for the existence of a (g, f)-factor when g <f, or when the graph is bipartite. Moreover, we give a simple direct proof, implying an O(m. IQ) algorithm, for these cases. We then illustrate the convenience of the new criterion by deriving some old and some new facts about (g,f)-factors and [a,b]-factors.

This paper presents a characterization of maximum (g, f)-factors of a general graph in which multiple edges and loops are allowed. An analogous characterization of the minimum (g,f)-factors of a general gr
We give sufficient conditions for a graph to have a (g,f)-factor. For example, we prove that a graph G has a (g,f)-factor if g(v) < f(v) for all vertices v of G and g(x)/deg~(x) <~ f(y)/deg~(y) for all adjacent vertices x and y of G.
