Abstract
We study graphs on n vertices which have 2n−2 edges and no proper induced subgraphs of minimum degree 3. Erdős, Faudree, Gyárfás, and Schelp conjectured that such graphs always have cycles of lengths 3,4,5,…,C(n) for some function C(n) tending to infinity. We disprove this conjecture, resolve a related problem about leaf-to-leaf path lengths in trees, and characterize graphs with n vertices and 2n−2 edges, containing no proper subgraph of minimum degree 3.
