Pósa-condition and nowhere-zero 3-flows

Let G be a simple graph on n vertices and π(G)=(d₁,d₂,…,d_n) be the degree sequence of G, where n≥3 and d₁≤d₂≤?≤d_n. The classical Pósa’s theorem states that if d_m≥m+1 for and d_m+1≥m+1 for n being odd and , then G is Hamiltonian, which implies that G admits a nowhere-zero 4-flow. In this paper, we further show that if G satisfies the Pósa-condition that d_m≥m+1 for and d_m+1≥m+1 for n being odd and , then G has no nowhere-zero 3-flow if and only if G is one of seven completely described graphs.
