Abstract

A nonincreasing sequence pi = (d1, d2,···,dn) of nonnegative integers is said to be graphic if it is the degree sequence of a simple graph of order n and such graph is referred to as a realization of pi.;Let H be a simple graph. A graphic sequence pi is said to be potentially H-graphic if it has a realization G containing H as its subgraph.;In this paper, we characterize the potentially Ck graphic sequence for k = 3, 4, 5. These characterizations imply theorems due to P. Erdos, M. S. Jacobson and J. Lehel, R. J. Gould, M. S. Jacobson and J. Lehel and C. H. Lai.
