Abstract

In this paper, we show that if k6k\geq 6 and k2(mod4)k \equiv 2 \pmod 4, then there exists an almost resolvable kk-cycle system of order 2kt+12kt+1 for all t1t\ge 1 except possibly for t=2t=2 and k14k\geq 14. Thus we give a partial solution to an open problem posed by Lindner, Meszka, and Rosa (J. Combin. Des., vol. 17, pp.404-410, 2009).
