Degree conditions on the vertices of a t-tough graph G(1 less-than-or-
equal-to t less-than-or-equal-to 2) that ensure the existence of a 2-f
actor in G are presented. These conditions are asymptotically best pos
sible for every t is-an-element-of [1, 3/2] and for infinitely many t
is-an-element-of [3/2, 2]. (C) 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
