Let a, b, k, r be nonnegative integers with 1 ≤ a ≤ b and r ≥ 2. Let G be a graph of order n with n > ((a+b)(r(a+b)-2))+ak/a . In this paper, we first show a characterization for all fractional(a, b, k)-critical graphs. Then using the result, we prove that G is all fractional (a, b, k)-critical if δ(G) ≥ ((G-1)b2)/a+k and |NG(x1)∪NG(x2)∪…NG(xr)| ≥ ((bn+ak)/(a+b)) for any independent subset {x1, x2, ...,xr} in G. Furthermore, it is shown that the lower bound on the condition |NG(x1)∪NG(x2)∪…∪NG(xr)| ≥ ((bn+ak)/(a+b)) is best possible in some sense, and it is an extension of Lu's previous result.
