Abstract
Let be an edge-coloured graph. A rainbow subgraph in is a subgraph such that its edges have distinct colours. The minimum colour degree of is the smallest number of distinct colours on the edges incident with a vertex of . We show that every edge-coloured graph on vertices with contains a rainbow matching of size at least , which improves the previous result for . Let be the maximum number of edges of the same colour incident with a vertex of . We also prove that if and , then can be edge-decomposed into at most rainbow matchings. This result is sharp and improves a result of LeSaulnier and West.
