A sufficient condition for a graph to be an \((a, b, k)\)-critical graph. (English) Zbl 1198.05129

Summary: Let \(G\) be a graph, and let \(a, b, k\) be integers with \(0\leq a\leq b, k\geq 0\). An \([a, b]\)-factor of graph \(G\) is defined as a spanning subgraph \(F\) of \(G\) such that \(a\leq d_F(x)\leq b\) for each \(x\in V(G)\). Then a graph \(G\) is called an \((a, b, k)\)-critical graph if after deleting any \(k\) vertices of \(G\) the remaining graph of \(G\) has an \([a, b]\)-factor. In this article, a sufficient condition is given, which is a neighborhood condition for a graph \(G\) to be an \((a, b, k)\)-critical graph.
