Oct 7, 2021 at 23:21 comment added Tony Huynh Yes, and it does not matter which vertex you pick from each of $A_2, A_3, B_2, B_3$. For one of those four sets, every vertex in that set will have degree at most $\frac{n+\kappa(G)}{4}$. I re-wrote the proof to make this clearer.
Oct 7, 2021 at 23:18 comment added okw1124 You mean, if we pick one vertex from each of $A_2,A_3,B_2$ and $B_3$, the minimum degree of those four vertices do not exceed $\frac{n+\kappa(G)}{4}$?

Oct 7, 2021 at 23:02 comment added Tony Huynh You don't need to average over those sets. The proof shows that one of those four numbers is at most $\frac{n+\kappa(G)}{4}$. Therefore, for one of those four sets, the maximum degree of a vertex in that set is at most $\frac{n+\kappa(G)}{4}$.
Oct 7, 2021 at 22:57 comment added okw1124 I have observed that, but I thought the average degree is at most $\frac{a_2(b_2+b_1)+b_2(a_2+a_1)+a_3(b_3+b_1)+b_3(a_3+a_1)}{a_2+b_2+a_3+b_3}$. Can we show this one $\leq\frac{n+\kappa(G)}{4}$?

Oct 7, 2021 at 22:45 comment added Tony Huynh Just add those four numbers up and divide by 4. The sum is $2|A_1|+|A_2|+|A_3|+2|B_1|+|B_2|+|B_3|=n+\kappa(G)$.
Oct 7, 2021 at 22:40 comment added okw1124 Umm...in fact, I'm struggling with showing the average degree of $A_2 \cup A_3 \cup B_2 \cup B_3$ is at most $\frac{n+\kappa(G)}{4}$. Can you give me a clue?

Oct 7, 2021 at 13:47 comment added okw1124 I have sketched the same proof couple of minutes ago, but it seems your one is much more logical! Thanks a lot for giving a brilliant idea.
Oct 7, 2021 at 13:40 comment added Tony Huynh Yes. I have now also added a proof that it becomes true for $a > \frac{1}{3}$.

Oct 7, 2021 at 13:20 comment added okw1124 I guess it means 'merging' each pair of vertices. Am I right?
Oct 7, 2021 at 12:56 comment added okw1124 Can you explain more about 'identifying'?
