摘要
A k-tree of a graph is a subtree with maximum degree at most k. Though forbidden subgraphs are a major tool to find a hamiltonian cycle or a hamiltonian path, there are only a few results using the condition on forbidden subgraphs to find a spanning k-tree for k >= 3. In this paper, we give a sufficient condition using the condition on forbidden subgraphs for a graph G to have a spanning k-tree. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
