Abstract

Let GG be a graph of order nn, and let aa and bb be two integers with 1ab1\leq a\leq b. Let h:E(G)[0,1]h: E(G)\rightarrow [0,1] be a function. If aexh(e)ba\leq\sum_{e\ni x}h(e)\leq b holds for any xV(G)x\in V(G), then we call G[Fh]G[F_h] a fractional [a,b][a,b]-factor of GG with indicator function hh where Fh={eE(G):h(e)>0}F_h=\{e\in E(G): h(e)>0\}. A graph GG is fractional independent-set-deletable [a,b][a,b]-factor-critical (in short, fractional ID-[a,b][a,b]-factor-critical) if GIG-I has a fractional [a,b][a,b]-factor for every independent set II of GG. In this paper, it is proved that if n(a+2b)(2a+2b3)+1bn\geq\frac{(a+2b)(2a+2b-3)+1}{b}, δ(G)bna+2b+a\delta(G)\geq\frac{bn}{a+2b}+a and NG(x)NG(y)(a+b)na+2b|N_G(x)\cup N_G(y)|\geq\frac{(a+b)n}{a+2b} for any two nonadjacent vertices x,yV(G)x,y\in V(G), then GG is fractional ID-[a,b][a,b]-factor-critical. Furthermore, it is shown that this result is best possible in some sense.
