Abstract
In 1996, Michael Stiebitz proved that if is a simple graph with and , then can be partitioned into two sets and such that and . In 2016, Amir Ban proved a similar result for weighted graphs. Let be a simple graph with at least two vertices, let be a weight function, let , and let . If , then can be partitioned into two sets and such that and . This motivated us to consider this partition problem for multigraphs, or equivalently for weighted graphs with . We prove that if and , then can be partitioned into two sets and such that and . We also prove a variable version of this result and show that for -free graphs, the bound on the minimum degree can be decreased.
