摘要
We generalize a known sufficient condition for the traceability of a graph to a condition for the existence of a spanning tree with a bounded number of leaves. Both of the conditions involve neighborhood unions. Further, we present two results on spanning spiders (trees with a single branching vertex). We pose a number of open questions concerning extremal spanning trees. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
