Abstract: As an interesting application of the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory and our work on the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern mass (Ge, Wang, Wu), we obtain a positive mass theorem for asymptotically flat graphs in $R^{n+1}$ under a condition that $R+alpha{L}_2$ is non-negative, where $R$ is the scalar curvature, $alphainR$ a constant and $L_2$ the second Gauss-Bonnet curvature. A Penrose type inequality is also obtained in the case $alpha>0$.
