The girth of a graph G is the length of a shortest cycle in G. Dobson (1994, Ph.D. dissertation, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA) conjectured that every graph G with girth at least 2t+1 and minimum degree at least kΓt contains every tree T with k edges whose maximum degree does not excee

β¦ Synopsis
The energy E(G) of a graph G is the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of G. An n-vertex graph G is said to be hypoenergetic if E(G) < n. In Gutman et al. (2008) [14] the authors conjectured that there exist n-vertex hypoenergetic trees with maximum degree β = 4 for any n β‘ 2 mod 4, n > 2. In this paper we confirm this conjecture.

The Lotka-Volterra system of autonomous di erential equations consists in three homogeneous polynomial equations of degree 2 in three variables. This system, or the corresponding vector ΓΏeld LV (A; B; C), depends on three non-zero (complex) parameters and may be written as LV (A; B; C) = Vx@x + Vy@y
## Abstract As our main result, we prove that for every multigraph __G__β=β(__V, E__) which has no loops and is of order __n__, size __m__, and maximum degree $\Delta < {{{10}}^{-{{3}}}{{m}}\over \sqrt{{{8}}{{n}}}}$ there is a mapping ${{f}}:{{V}}\cup {{E}}\to \big\{{{1}},{{2}},\ldots,\big\lceil{{{
