A spanning subgraph $F$ of a graph $G$ is called a $[1,b]$-odd factor if $b\equiv1$ (mod 2) and $d_F(v)\in\{1,3,\ldots,b\}$ for every $v\in V(G)$. A graph $G$ of order $n\geq k+2$ is $k$-critical with respect to $[1,b]$-odd factor if for…

A graph $G$ is called $k$-factor-critical if after deleting any $k$ vertices the remaining subgraph still has a perfect matching. Fan and Lin [Adv. in Appl. Math. 174 (2026) 103019] posed an adjacency spectral condition for a graph with…

Let $\mathcal{T}_{\frac{k}{r}}$ denote the set of trees $T$ such that $i(T-S)\leq\frac{k}{r}|S|$ for any $S\subset V(T)$ and for any $e\in E(T)$ there exists a set $S^{*}\subset V(T)$ with $i((T-e)-S^{*})>\frac{k}{r}|S^{*}|$, where $r<k$…

A 2-factor of a graph is a 2-regular spanning subgraph. For a graph $G$ and an independent set $I$ of $G$, let $\delta_G(I)$ denote the minimum degree of vertices contained in $I$. We show that (1) if every independent set $I$ of $G$…
