## Abstract The following interpolation theorem is proved: If a graph __G__ contains spanning trees having exactly __m__ and __n__ endβvertices, with __m__ < __n__, then for every integer __k, m < k < n, G__ contains a spanning tree having exactly __k__ endβvertices. This settles a problem posed by

At the 4th International Graph Theory Conference (1980), G. Chartrand posed the following problem: If a (connected) graph G contains spanning trees with m and n pendant vertices, respectively, with m < n, does G contain a spanning tree with k pendant vertices for every integer k, where m<k<n? Recent
If a graph G with cycle rank p contains both spanning trees with rn and with n end-vertices, rn < n, then G has at least 2p spanning trees with k end-vertices for each integer k, rn < k < n. Moreover, the lower bound of 2p is best possible. [ l ] and Schuster [4] independently proved that such span
We say that a graphical invariant i of a graph interpolates over a family 8 of graphs if i satisfies the following property: If rn and M are the minimum and maximum values (respectively) of i over all graphs in 8 then for each k , rn 4 k I M , there is a graph H in 8 for which i ( H ) = k . In previ
