It is shown that for each r G 3, a random r-regular graph on 2 n vertices is equivalent in a certain sense to a set of r randomly chosen disjoint perfect matchings of the 2 n vertices, as n ª ϱ. This equivalence of two sequences of probabilistic spaces, called contiguity, occurs when all events almo

✦ Synopsis
On the basis of the observation that a 3-regular graph has a perfect matching if and only if its line graph has a triangle-free 2 -factorisation, we show that a connected 4-regular graph has a triangle-free 2 -factorisation, provided it has no more than two cut-vertices belonging to a triangle. This result is equivalent to Petersen's theorem about the existence of perfect matchings in 3-regular graphs. 61995 Academic Press, Inc

A p-factor of a graph G is a regular spanning subgraph of degree p . For G regular of degree d ( G ) and order 2n, let ( p l , ..., p,) be a partition of d ( G ) , so that p i > 0 ( I S i S r ) and p , i i pr = d(G). If H I . ..., H, are edge-disjoint regular spanning subgraphs of G of degrees p I ,
## Abstract We consider one‐factorizations of __K__~2__n__~ possessing an automorphism group acting regularly (sharply transitively) on vertices. We present some upper bounds on the number of one‐factors which are fixed by the group; further information is obtained when equality holds in these boun
