We show that any k-regular bipartite graph with 2n vertices has at least \ (k&1) k&1 k k&2 + n perfect matchings (1-factors). Equivalently, this is a lower bound on the permanent of any nonnegative integer n\_n matrix with each row and column sum equal to k. For any k, the base (k&1) k&1 รk k&2 is l

In this article, we consider the following problem: Given a bipartite graph G and a positive integer k, when does G have a 2-factor with exactly k components? We will prove that if , then, for any bipartite graph H = (U 1 , U 2 ; F ) with |U 1 | โค n, |U 2 | โค n and โ(H) โค 2, G contains a subgraph i
## Katerinis and Tsikopoulos (Graphs. Combin. 12 (1996) 327) give su cient conditions for a regular bipartite graph to have a perfect matching excluding a set of edges. In this paper, we give a necessary and su cient condition for a bipartite graph to have an f-factor containing a set of edges and
The set of two-factors of a bipartite k-regular graph, k > 2, spans the cycle space of the graph. In addition, a new non-hamiltonian T-connected bicubic graph on 92 vertices is constructed.
