Abstract
A graph is said to be K~1,n~βfree, if it contains no K~1,n~ as an induced subgraph. We prove that for n β©Ύ 3 and r β©Ύ n β1, if G is a K~1,n~βfree graph with minimum degree at least (n^2^/4(n β1))r + (3__n__ β6)/2 + (n β1)/4__r__, then G has an rβfactor (in the case where r is even, the condition r β©Ύ n β1 can be dropped).

Given r 3 3 and 1 s A s r, we determine all values of k for which every r-regular graph with edge-connectivity A has a k-factor. Some of the earliest results in graph theory are due to Petersen [8] and concern factors in graphs. Among others, Petersen proved that a regular graph of even degree has a
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 Γk k&2 is l
A graph is called K1,.-free if it contains no K l , n as an induced subgraph. Let n ( r 3), r be integers (if r is odd, r 2 n -1). We prove that every Kl,,-free connected graph G with rlV(G)I even has an r-factor if its minimum degree is at least This degree condition is sharp.
In this paper the expectation and variance of the number of 2-factors in random r-regular graphs for any fixed r 2 3 is analyzed and the asymptotic distribution of this variable is determined.
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 Βͺ Ο±. This equivalence of two sequences of probabilistic spaces, called contiguity, occurs when all events almo
