Popis: A graph $G$ is called collapsible if for every even subset $R\subseteq V(G)$, there is a spanning connected subgraph $H$ of $G$ such that $R$ is the set of vertices of odd degree in $H$. A graph is the reduction of $G$ if it is obtained from $G$ by contracting all the nontrivial collapsible subgraphs. A graph is reduced if it has no nontrivial collapsible subgraphs. In this paper, we first prove a few results on the properties of reduced graphs. As an application, for 3-edge-connected graphs $G$ of order $n$ with $d(u)+d(v)\ge 2(n/p-1)$ for any $uv\in E(G)$ where $p>0$ are given, we show how such graphs change if they have no spanning Eulerian subgraphs when $p$ is increased from $p=1$ to 10 then to $15$.
