A Characterization for the Existence of Connected $f$-Factors of $\textit{ Large}$ Minimum Degree (1601.06291v1)

Published 23 Jan 2016 in cs.DS, cs.CC, and cs.DM

Abstract: It is well known that when $f(v)$ is a constant for each vertex $v$, the connected $f$-factor problem is NP-Complete. In this note we consider the case when $f(v) \geq \lceil \frac{n}{2.5}\rceil$ for each vertex $v$, where $n$ is the number of vertices. We present a diameter based characterization of graphs having a connected $f$-factor (for such $f$). We show that if a graph $G$ has a connected $f$-factor and an $f$-factor with 2 connected components, then it has a connected $f$-factor of diameter at least 3. This result yields a polynomial time algorithm which first executes the Tutte's $f$-factor algorithm, and if the output has 2 connected components, our algorithm searches for a connected $f$-factor of diameter at least 3.
