Abstract
LetG be a graph and letf be a function defined on V(G) such that f(x) is a positive odd integer for everyx ɛ V(G). A spanning subgraphF ofG is called a [l,f]-odd factor of G if dF(x) ɛ {1,3,2026, f(x)} for every x ɛV(G), whered F (x) denotes the degree of x inF. We discuss several conditions for a graphG to have a [1,f]-odd factor.
