β¦ Synopsis
By a theorem of W.T. Tutte the toughness t(G) of a nonhamiltonian polyhedral graph G is less than or equal to $. Nonhamiltonian regular polyhedral graphs G with t(G) = ; are constructed; moreover, it is shown that the shortness exponent of the considered classes of polyhedral graphs is less than 1.

## Theorem 2. Let G be a 2-tough graph. Then for any function f : V(G)+ { 1, 2) such that C xsvCcj f (x) in euen, G has an f-factor. Before stating the second main theorem of this paper it is necessary to make the following definition. Let G be a graph and let g and f be two integer-valued functi
