Strong Transfinite Version of König's Duality Theorem.
Let G be a graph and f : V (G) → {2, 3, . . .}. A spanning subgraph F is called strong f-star of G if each component of F is a star whose center x satisfies degF (x) ≤ ƒ(x) and F is an induced subgraph of G. In this paper, we prove that G has a strong f-star factor if and only if oddca(G − S) ≤ ∑x∊S ƒ(x) for all S ⊂ V (G), where oddca(G) denotes the number of odd complete-cacti of G.
Let n ≥ 3 and ⋋ ≥ 1 be integers. Let ⋋Kn denote the complete multigraph with edge-multiplicity ⋋. In this paper, we show that there exists a symmetric Hamilton cycle decomposition of ⋋K2m for all even ⋋ ≥ 2 and m ≥ 2. Also we show that there exists a symmetric Hamilton cycle decomposition of ⋋K2m − F for all odd ⋋ ≥ 3 and m ≥ 2. In fact, our results together with the earlier results (by Walecki and Brualdi and Schroeder) completely settle the existence of symmetric Hamilton cycle decomposition of...
