    Abstract

    <p> A graph G is Eulerian-connected if for any u and v in V ( G ) , G has a spanning ( u , v ) -trail. A graph G is edge-Eulerian-connected if for any e &prime; and e &Prime; in E ( G ) , G has a spanning ( e &prime; , e &Prime; ) -trail. For an integer r &ges; 0 , a graph is called r -Eulerian-connected if for any X &sube; E ( G ) with | X | &les; r , and for any u , v &isin; V ( G ) , G has a spanning ( u , v ) -trail T such that X &sube; E ( T ) . The r -edge-Eulerian-connectivity of a graph can be defined similarly. Let &theta; ( r ) be the minimum value of k such that every k -edge-connected graph is r -Eulerian-connected. Catlin proved that &theta; ( 0 ) = 4 . We shall show that &theta; ( r ) = 4 for 0 &les; r &les; 2 , and &theta; ( r ) = r + 1 for r &ges; 3 . Results on r -edge-Eulerian connectivity are also discussed.</p>
