The set of leaves of $T$ is denoted by $Leaf(T)$. The subtree $T-Leaf(T)$ of $T$ is called the stem of $T$ and denoted by $Stem(T).$ In this note, we give a sharp sufficient condition to show that a $K_{1,t}-$free graph has a spanning tree whose stem has a few leaves. By applying the main result, we give improvements of previous related results.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-10-19T02:35:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C05", "05C07", "05C69" ], "keywords": [ "free graph", "spanning tree", "sharp sufficient condition", "main result", "improvements" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
