Abstract: In Gao's previous work, the authors determined several graph degree conditions of a graph which admits fractional factor in particular settings. It was revealed that these degree conditions are tight if b=f(x)=g(x)=a for all vertices x in G. In this paper, we continue to discuss these degree conditions for admitting fractional factor in the setting that several vertices and edges are removed and there is a difference Delta between g(x) and f(x) for every vertex x in G. These obtained new degree conditions reformulate Gao's previous conclusions, and show how Delta acts in the results. Furthermore, counterexamples are structured to reveal the sharpness of degree conditions in the setting f(x)=g(x)+Delta.


Let \(h:E(G)\rightarrow[0,1]\) be a function. We write \(d_G^{h}(x)=\sum_{e\ni x}h(e)\). We call graph \(F_h\) with vertex set \(V(G)\) and edge set \(E_h\) a fractional \((g,f)\)-factor of \(G\) with indicator function \(h\) if \(g(x)\leq d_G^{h}(x)\leq f(x)\) holds for any \(x\in V(G)\), where \(E_h=\{e:e\in E(G),h(e)>0\}\). A graph \(G\) is called a fractional \((g,f,m)\)-deleted graph if there exists a fractional \((g,f)\)-factor \(F_h\) of \(G\) with indicator function \(h\) such that \(h(e)=0\) for any \(e\in E(H)\), where \(H\) is any subgraph of \(G\) with \(m\) edges. A graph \(G\) is called a fractional \((g,f,n^\prime,m)\)-critical deleted graph if after deleting any \(n^\prime\) vertices of \(G\), the remaining graph of \(G\) is a fractional \((g,f,m)\)-deleted graph. If \(G-I\) is a fractional \((g,f,m)\)-deleted graph for every independent set \(I\) of \(G\), then we say that \(G\) is fractional ID-\((g,f,m)\)-deleted. In this article, the authors explore the connection between the degree condition and fractional \((g,f,n^\prime,m)\)-critical deleted graph (rep. fractional ID-\((g,f,m)\)-deleted graph). They derive three degree conditions for graphs to be fractional \((g,f,n^\prime,m)\)-critical deleted, and present three degree conditions for graphs to be fractional ID-\((g,f,m)\)-deleted. Furthermore, the authors claim that the degree conditions in the above results are sharp. The above results are some generalizations of many previous results.
