A classical result of Ore states that if a graph G of order n satisfies deg G x+ deg G y≥ n− 1 for every pair of nonadjacent vertices x and y of G, then G contains a hamiltonian path. In this note, we interpret a hamiltonian path as a spanning tree which is a subdivision of K 2 and extend Ore’s result to a sufficient condition for the existence of a spanning tree which is a subdivision of a tree of a bounded order. We prove that for a positive integer k, if a connected graph G satisfies deg G x+ deg G y≥ n− k for every pair of nonadjacent vertices x and y of G, then G contains a spanning tree which is a subdivision of a tree of order at most k+ 2. We also discuss the sharpness of the result.
