B 72, No.1, 152-156 (1998).} \itemab Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V$ and let $g,f:V\to\bbfZ^+$. We say that $G$ has all $(g,f)$-factors, if $G$ has an $h$-factor for every $h:V\to\bbfZ^+$ such that $g(v)\leq h(v)\leq f(v)$ for every $v\in V$ and at least one such $h$ exists. We derive from Tutte's $f$-factor theorem a similar characterization for the property of having all $(g,f)$-factors. An analogous result for parity factors is presented also. \itemrv{Th.Niessen (Aachen)} \itemcc{} \itemut{characterization; $(g,f)$-factors; parity factors} \itemli{doi:10.1006/jctb.1997.1797} \end
