Abstract
Let nβ>β1 be an integer and let a~2~,a~3~,β¦,a~n~ be nonnegative integers such that $\sum_{i=2}^{n} a_i=2^{n-1} - 1$. Then $K_{2^n}$ can be factored into $a_2 C_{2^2}$βfactors, $a_3 C_{2^3}$βfactors,β¦,$a_n C_{2^n}$βfactors, plus a 1βfactor. Β© 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 41: 151β161, 2002

Some results concerning decompositions of Kn, K,, -F (where F denotes a I-factor) and complements of a family of special cubic graphs into 2factors of the same type are given. In particular, if 2d is a divisor of n, it is shown that K, -F can be decomposed into 2-factors each of whose components is
## Abstract We study a generalization of the weighted set covering problem where every element needs to be covered multiple times. When no set contains more than two elements, we can solve the problem in polynomial time by solving a corresponding weighted perfect __b__βmatching problem. In general,
It is shown that if F 1 , F 2 , ...,F t are bipartite 2-regular graphs of order n and 1 , 2 , . . . , t are positive integers such that 1 + 2 +β’ β’ β’+ t = (n-2) / 2, 1 β₯ 3 is odd, and i is even for i = 2, 3, . . . , t, then there exists a 2-factorization of K n -I in which there are exactly i 2-facto
