Abstract
- A path factor is a spanning subgraph F of G such that every component of F is a path with at least two vertices. We write P≥k = {Pi : i ≥ k}. Then a P≥k-factor of G means a path factor in which every component admits at least k vertices, where k ≥ 2 is an integer. A graph G is called a P≥k-factor avoidable graph if for any e ∈ E(G), G admits a P≥k-factor excluding e. A graph G is called a (P≥k, n)-factor critical avoidable graph if for any Q ⊆ V (G) with |Q| = n, G − Q is a P ≥k-factor avoidable graph. Let G be an (n + 2)-connected graph. In this paper, we demonstrate that (i) G is a (P≥2, n)-factor critical avoidable graph if t o u g h (G) > n + 2 4 ; (ii) G is a (P≥3, n)-factor critical avoidable graph if t o u g h (G) > n + 1 2 ; (iii) G is a (P≥2, n)-factor critical avoidable graph if I (G) > n + 2 3 ; (iv) G is a (P≥3, n)-factor critical avoidable graph if I (G) > n + 3 2 . Furthermore, we claim that these conditions are sharp. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
