Summary:
If T is a tree on n vertices, n 3, and if G is a connected graph such that dudvd u,v 2n for every pair of distinct vertices of G, it has been conjectured that G must have a non-separating copy of T. In this note, we prove this result for the special case in which dudv du,v 2n 2 for every pair of distinct vertices of G, and improve this slightly for trees of diameter at least four and for some trees of diameter three. We also characterize the graphs on at most 8 vertices with dudvdu,v 7 for every pair of distinct vertices of G, and no non-separating copy of K_{1,3}
