Spectral conditions for graphs in which every edge belongs to a factor

Jin Cai, Bo Zhou

Abstract

A factor of a graph is a spanning subgraph. Spectral sufficient conditions are provided via spectral radius and signless Laplacian spectral radius for graphs with (i) a matching of given size (particularly, $1$-factor) containing any given edge, and (ii) a star factor with a component isomorphic to stars of order two or three containing any given edge, respectively.

Spectral conditions for graphs in which every edge belongs to a factor

Abstract

A factor of a graph is a spanning subgraph. Spectral sufficient conditions are provided via spectral radius and signless Laplacian spectral radius for graphs with (i) a matching of given size (particularly, -factor) containing any given edge, and (ii) a star factor with a component isomorphic to stars of order two or three containing any given edge, respectively.

Key Result

Theorem 1.1

Let $G$ be a graph of order $n\ge 5k+6$, where $n \equiv k \pmod 2$. If $\rho(G)\ge \rho(K_2\vee ((k+1)K_1\cup K_{n-k-3}))$, then $G$ has a matching of size $\frac{n-k}{2}$ containing any given edge unless $G\cong K_2\vee ((k+1)K_1\cup K_{n-k-3})$.
