A Short Note on Several Conditions for the Existence of a Component Factor in Graphs
Shuai Kou, Weihua Yang, Xiaxia GuanLet [Formula: see text] be a graph, and let [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be two integers with [Formula: see text]. A [Formula: see text]-factor of [Formula: see text] is a spanning subgraph in which every connected component is isomorphic to an element of [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is a special family of trees. In this paper, for a graph, we give a sufficient and necessary condition to have [Formula: see text]-factors based on the binding number. In addition, we propose several sufficient conditions for the existence of [Formula: see text]-factors. Furthermore, we show that some bounds are best possible.
