Abstract
For a graph G and an integer k, denote by V~k~ the set {v ∈ V(G) | d(v) ≥ k}. Veldman proved that if G is a 2‐connected graph of order n with n ≤ 3k ‐ 2 and |V~k~| ≤ k, then G has a cycle containing all vertices of V~k~. It is shown that the upper bound k on |V~k~| is close to best possible in general. For the special case k = δ(G), it is conjectured that the condition |V~k~| ≤ k can be omitted. Using a variation of Woodall's Hopping Lemma, the conjecture is proved under the additional condition that n ≤ __2__δ(G) + δ(G) + 1. This result is an almost‐generalization of Jackson's Theorem that every 2‐connected k‐regular graph of order n with n ≤ 3k is hamiltonian. An alternative proof of an extension of Jackson's Theorem is also presented. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

## Abstract A graph is called Class 1 if the chromatic index equals the maximum degree. We prove sufficient conditions for simple graphs to be Class 1. Using these conditions we improve results on some edge‐coloring theorems of Chetwynd and Hilton. We also improve a theorem concerning the 1‐factori
For a connected graph G, let ~-(G) be the set of all spanning trees of G and let nd(G) be the number of vertices of maximum degree in G. In this paper we show that if G is a cactus or a connected graph with p vertices and p+ 1 edges, then the set {na(T) : T C ~-(G)) has at most one gap, that is, it
For an n-dimensional hypercube Q., the maximum number of degree-preserving vertices in a spanning tree is 2"jn if n = 2" for an integer M. (If n # 2", then the maximum number of degree-preserving vertices in a spanning tree is less than 2"/n.) We also construct a spanning tree of Qzm with maximum nu
