We prove that every graph of sufficiently large order n and minimum degree at least 2 n /3 contains a triangulation as a spanning subgraph. This is best possible: for all integers n , there are graphs of order n and minimum degree ⌈2 n /3⌉ − 1 without a spanning triangulation. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory
