Abstract.
A k-tree of a connected graph is a spanning tree with maximum degree at most k. We obtain a sufficient condition for a graph to have a k-tree, as a generalization of the condition of E. Flandrin, H. A. Jung and H. Li [3] for traceability. We also extend early results of Y. Caro, I. Krasikov and Y. Roditty [2] and Min Aung and Aung Kyaw [4] for the maximal order of a tree with bounded maximum degree in a graph.
