Abstract

A graph G=(V(G),E(G))G=(V(G), E(G)) is supereulerian if it has a spanning Eulerian subgraph. Let (G)\ell(G) be the maximum number of edges of spanning Eulerian subgraphs of a supereulerian graph GG. In 19961996, Catlin conjectured that if GG is a supereulerian graph, then (G)23E(G)\ell(G)\ge \frac{2}{3}|E(G)|. But in 20042004, infinitely many counterexamples were found for this conjecture and it was shown that this conjecture holds for rr-regular graphs when r5r\neq 5. In this paper we show that Catlin's Conjecture holds for graphs having no vertex with degree 33 and also it holds for 55-regular graphs. Moreover, if GG is a graph having no vertex with degree 33, then (G)23E(G)+v2(G)\ell(G)\ge \frac{2}{3}|E(G)|+ v_2(G), when v2(G)v_2(G) is the number of vertices of degree 22.
