Abstract: Let a and b be positive integers. An even [a,b]-factor of a graph G is a spanning subgraph H such that for every vertex vinV(G), dH(v) is even and aledH(v)leb. Matsuda conjectured that if G is an n-vertex 2-edge-connected graph such that nge2a+b+fraca2−3ab−2, delta(G)gea, and sigma2(G)gefrac2ana+b, then G has an even [a,b]-factor. In this paper, we provide counterexamples, which are highly connected. Furthermore, we give sharp sufficient conditions for a graph to have an even [a,b]-factor. For even an, we conjecture a lower bound for lambda1(G) in an n-vertex graph to have an [a,b]-factor, where lambda1(G) is the largest eigenvalue of G.
