A Pl-decomposition of a graph G is a set of paths with l edges in G that cover the edge set of G. Favaron, Genest, and Kouider (2010) conjectured that every (2k+1)-regular graph that contains a perfect matching admits a P2k+1-decomposition. They also verified this conjecture for 5-regular graphs without cycles of length 4. In 2015, Botler, Mota, and Wakabayashi extended this result to 5-regular graphs without triangles. In this paper, we verify this conjecture for (2k+1)-regular graphs that contain the k-th power of a spanning cycle; and for 5-regular graphs that contain certain spanning 4-regular Cayley graphs.

A graph is one-regular if its automorphism group acts regularly on the set of its arcs. Let n be a square-free integer. It is shown in this paper that a pentavalent one-regular graph of order n exists if and only if n = 2 · 5tp1p2 … ps ≥ 62, where t ≤ 1, s ≥ 1, and pi's are distinct primes such that 5|(pi-1). For such an integer n, there are exactly 4s-1 non-isomorphic pentavalent one-regular graphs of order n, which are Cayley graphs on dihedral groups constructed by Kwak et al. This work is a continuation of the classification of cubic one-regular graphs of order twice a square-free integer given by Zhou and Feng.

Matching Extendability

Graph Theory International audience Ruskey and Savage conjectured that in the d-dimensional hypercube, every matching M can be extended to a Hamiltonian cycle. Fink verified this for every perfect matching M, remarkably even if M contains external edges. We prove that this property also holds for sparse spanning regular subgraphs of the cubes: for every d ≥7 and every k, where 7 ≤k ≤d, the d-dimensional hypercube contains a k-regular spanning subgraph such that every perfect matching (possibly with external edges) can be extended to a Hamiltonian cycle. We do not know if this result can be extended to k=4,5,6. It cannot be extended to k=3. Indeed, there are only three 3-regular graphs such that every perfect matching (possibly with external edges) can be extended to a Hamiltonian cycle, namely the complete graph on 4 vertices, the complete bipartite 3-regular graph on 6 vertices and the 3-cube on 8 vertices. Also, we do not know if there are graphs of girth at least 5 with this matching-extendability property.

Even Order

Let $\ell$ denote a non-negative integer. A connected graph $\Gamma$ of even order at least $2\ell+2$ is $\ell$-extendable if it contains a matching of size $\ell$ and if every such matching is contained in a perfect matching of $\Gamma$. A connected regular graph $\Gamma$ is edge-regular, if there exists an integer $\lambda$ such that every pair of adjacent vertices of $\Gamma$ have exactly $\lambda$  common neighbours. In this paper we classify $2$-extendable edge-regular graphs of even order and diameter $2$.

Abstract Magnant and Martin conjectured that the vertex set of any d-regular graph G on n vertices can be partitioned into $n / (d+1)$ paths (there exists a simple construction showing that this bound would be best possible). We prove this conjecture when $d = \Omega(n)$ , improving a result of Han, who showed that in this range almost all vertices of G can be covered by $n / (d+1) + 1$ vertex-disjoint paths. In fact our proof gives a partition of V(G) into cycles. We also show that, if $d = \Omega(n)$ and G is bipartite, then V(G) can be partitioned into n/(2d) paths (this bound is tight for bipartite graphs).

In 2015, the results were obtained for the maximum number of vertices nk in regular graphs of a given order k with a diameter 2: n2 = 5, n3 = 10, n4 = 15. In this paper, we investigate a similar question about the largest number of vertices npk in a primitive regular graph of order k with exponent 2. All primitive regular graphs with exponent 2, except for the complete one, also have diameter d = 2. The following values were obtained for primitive regular graphs with exponent 2: np2 = 3, np3 = 4, np4 = 11.

In (3) Tutte showed that the order of a regular graph of degree d and even girth g > 4 is greater than or equal toHere the girth of a graph is the length of the shortest circuit. It was shown in (2) that this lower bound cannot be attained for regular graphs of degree > 2 for g ≠ 6, 8, or 12. When this lower bound is attained, the graph is called minimal. In a group-theoretic setting a similar situation arose and it was noticed by Gleason that minimal regular graphs of girth 12 could be constructed from certain groups. Here we construct these graphs making only incidental use of group theory. Also we give what is believed to be an easier construction of minimal regular graphs of girth 8 than is given in (2). These results are contained in the following two theorems.

Number Of Spanning Trees

Let $d\geq 3$ be a fixed integer.   We give an asympotic formula for the expected number of spanning trees in a uniformly random $d$-regular graph with $n$ vertices. (The asymptotics are as $n\to\infty$, restricted to even $n$ if $d$ is odd.) We also obtain the asymptotic distribution of the number of spanning trees in a uniformly random cubic graph, and conjecture that the corresponding result holds for arbitrary (fixed) $d$. Numerical evidence is presented which supports our conjecture.

K Factor

In this note we examine the connection between vertices of high eccentricity and the existence of $k$-factors in regular graphs. This leads to new results in the case that the radius of the graph is small ($\leq 3$), namely that a $d$-regular graph $G$ has all $k$-factors, for $k|V(G)|$ even and $k\le d$, if it has at most $2d+2$ vertices of eccentricity $>3$. In particular, each regular graph $G$ of diameter $\leq3$ has every $k$-factor, for $k|V(G)|$ even and $k\le d$.

AbstractA near 1-factor of a graph of order 2n ≧ 4 is a subgraph isomorphic to (n − 2) K2 ∪ P3 ∪ K1. Wallis determined, for each r ≥ 3, the order of a smallest r-regular graph of even order without a 1-factor; while for each r ≧ 3, Chartrand, Goldsmith and Schuster determined the order of a smallest r-regular, (r − 2)-edge-connected graph of even order without a 1-factor. These results are extended to graphs without near 1-factors. It is known that every connected, cubic graph with less than six bridges has a near 1-factor. The order of a smallest connected, cubic graph with exactly six bridges and no near 1-factor is determined.

ƒ(k, 5) is defined to be the smallest integer n for which there exists a regular graph of valency k and girth 5, having n vertices. In (3) it was shown that1.1Hoffman and Singleton proved in (4) that equality holds in the lower bound of (1.1) only for k = 2, 3, 7, and possibly 57. Robertson showed in (6) that ƒ(4, 5) = 19 and constructed the unique minimal graph.
