Abstract

It is shown that every (2p+1)log"2(|V(G)|)-edge-connected graph G has a mod (2p+1)-orientation, and that a (4p+1)-regular graph G has a mod (2p+1)-orientation if and only if V(G) has a partition (V^+,V^-) such that @?U@?V(G),|@?"G(U)|=(2p+1)||U@?V^+|-|U@?V^-||. These extend former results by Da Silva and Dahab on nowhere zero 3-flows of 5-regular graphs, and by Lai and Zhang on highly connected graphs with nowhere zero 3-flows.
