The split graph $K_r+\overline{K_s}$ on $r+s$ vertices is denoted by $S_{r,s}$. A non-increasing sequence $\pi =(d_1,d_2,...,d_n)$ of nonnegative integers is said to be potentially $S_{r,s}$-graphic if there exists a realization of $\pi$ containing $S_{r,s}$ as a subgraph. In this paper, we obtain a Havel-Hakimi type procedure and a simple sufficient condition for $\pi$ to be potentially $S_{r,s}$-graphic. They are extensions of two theorems due to A. R. Rao (The clique number of a graph with given degree sequence, Graph Theory, Proc. Symp., Calcutta 1976, ISI Lect. Notes...

Let $K_m-H$ be the graph obtained from $K_m$ by removing the edges set $E\left(H\right)$ of $H$ where $H$ is a subgraph of $K_m$. In this paper, we characterize the potentially $K_5-P_4$ and $K_5-Y_4$-graphic sequences where $Y_4$ is a tree on 5 vertices and 3 leaves.

Let $r\ge 3$, $n\ge r$ and $\pi =(d_1,d_2,...,d_n)$ be a non-increasing sequence of nonnegative integers. If $\pi$ has a realization $G$ with vertex set $V\left(G\right)=\{v_1,v_2,...,v_n\}$ such that $d_G\left(v_i\right)=d_i$ for $i=1,2,...,n$ and $v_1{v}_2\cdots v_r{v}_1$ is a cycle of length $r$ in $G$, then $\pi$ is said to be potentially $C_r^{\text{'}\text{'}}$-graphic. In this paper, we give a characterization for $\pi$ to be potentially $C_r^{\text{'}\text{'}}$-graphic.
