Fan-Type Conditions for Collapsible Graphs

A graph G is collapsible if for every even subset R <;; V ( G), there is a spanning connected subgraph of G whose set of odd degree vertices is R. A graph is supereulerian if it contains a spanning closed trail. It is known that every collapsible graph is supereulerian. A graph G of order n is said to satisfy a Fan­ type condition if max{d(u),d(v)} 2: n/(g 2)p E for each pair of vertices u, v at distance two1 where g E {3, 4} is the girth of G, and p 2: 2 and , 2: 0 are fixed numbers. In this paper, we study the Fan-type conditions for collapsible graphs and supereulerian graphs.
