How do I get a 2-3 subgraph or 3-4 subgraph? (Research question)

Revision en6, by YahiaSherif, 2022-06-24 17:34:10

Hi, I am writing my bachelor thesis and I came across a study which mentions finding a 2-3 subgraph and a 2-4 subgraph of an undirected graph as one of its subtask but it doesn't mention an algorithm to do it but it just says that it is done using DFS.

I couldn't really find anything useful online solving these problems.

A 2-3 subgraph is a subgraph where each node has degree 2 or 3 in this subgraph (we remove edges which go to nodes outside the subgraph) and our task is to find a maximal 2-3 subgraph (it doesn't have to be maxmimum in terms of size just that we can't add another node to it). A 2-4 subgraph is just the same but with 2, 3 and 4.

Can anyone help by describing an algorithm or linking an article/paper?
