Abstract: For a graph G, let sigma2(G) be the minimum degree sum of two non-adjacent vertices in G. A chord of a cycle in a graph G is an edge of G joining two non-consecutive vertices of the cycle. In this paper, we prove the following result, which is an extension of a result of Brandt et al. (J. Graph Theory 24 (1997) 165-173) for large graphs: For positive integers k and c, there exists an integer f(k,c) such that, if G is a graph of order ngef(k,c) and sigma2(G)gen, then G can be partitioned into k vertex-disjoint cycles, each of which has at least c chords.
