Degree sum conditions and vertex-disjoint cycles in a graph

We consider degree sum conditions and the existence of vertex-disjoint cycles in a graph. In this paper, we prove the following: Suppose that G is a graph of order at least 3k + 2 and σ3(G) ≥ 6k − 2, where k ≥ 2. Then G contains k vertex-disjoint cycles. The degree and order conditions are sharp.
