We say that $T$ is $\\textit{even}$ if every leaf of $T$ belongs to the same part of the bipartition of $T$, and that $T$ is $\\textit{weakly even}$ if every leaf of $T$ that has maximum degree in $G$ belongs to the same part of the bipartition of $T$. We confirm two recent conjectures of Jackson and Yoshimoto by showing that every connected graph that is not a regular bipartite graph has a spanning weakly even tree.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-09-23T20:16:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C05", "05C07" ], "keywords": [ "regular bipartite graph", "bipartition", "multiple edges", "maximum degree", "conjectures" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
