Abstract In 1996, Michael Stiebitz proved that if G is a simple graph with δ (G)≥ s+ t+ 1 and s, t∈ Z 0, then V (G) can be partitioned into two sets A and B such that δ (G [A])≥ s and δ (G [B])≥ t. In 2016, Amir Ban proved a similar result for weighted graphs. Let G be a simple graph with at least two vertices, let w: E (G)→ R> 0 be a weight function, let s, t∈ R≥ 0, and let W= max e∈ E (G) w (e). If δ (G)≥ s+ t+ 2 W, then V (G) can be partitioned into two sets A and B such that δ (G [A])≥ s and δ (G [B])≥ t. This motivated us to consider this partition problem for multigraphs, or equivalently for weighted graphs (G, w) with w: E (G)→ Z≥ 1. We prove that if s, t∈ Z≥ 0 and δ (G)≥ s+ t+ 2 W− 1≥ 1, then V (G) can be partitioned into two sets A and B such that δ (G [A])≥ s and δ (G [B])≥ t. We also prove a variable version of this result and show that for K 4−-free graphs, the bound on the minimum degree can be decreased.
