Abstract
Abstract A spanning subgraph H of a graph G is called a P≥k-factor of G if every component of H is isomorphic to a path of order at least k, where k ≥ 2. A graph G is called a P≥k-factor covered graph if there is a P≥k-factor of G covering e for any e ∈ E(G). In this paper, we obtain two special classes of P≥2-factor covered graphs. We also obtain two special classes of P≥3-factor covered graphs. Furthermore, it is shown that these results are all sharp.
期刊介绍:
The Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory publishes high-quality refereed original papers. Occasionally, very authoritative expository survey articles and notes of exceptional value can be published. The journal is mainly devoted to the following topics in Graph Theory: colourings, partitions (general colourings), hereditary properties, independence and domination, structures in graphs (sets, paths, cycles, etc.), local properties, products of graphs as well as graph algorithms related to these topics.
