In this paper, we investigate some parity factors by using Lov\'asz's (g,f)-parity theorem. Let $m>0$ be an integer. Firstly, we obtain a sufficient and necessary condition for some graphs to have a parity factor with restricted minimum…

For any graph (hypergraph) $G$ with vertex set $V$ and edge set $E$, we define its incidence bipartite graph $\mathcal{I}(G)$ as the bipartite graph with bipartition $(E, V)$, where an edge $e \in E$ is adjacent to a vertex $v \in V$ in…

Let $G$ be a connected graph. If $G$ contains a matching of size $k$, and every matching of size $k$ is contained in a perfect matching of $G$, then $G$ is said to be \emph{$k$-extendable}. A $k$-regular spanning subgraph of $G$ is called a…

Let $G$ be a $q$-regular bipartite graph with bipartition $(U,V)$. It was proved by Lu, Wang, and Yan in 2020 that $G$ has a spanning subgraph $H$ such that each vertex of $U$ has degree 1 in $H$, and each vertex of $V$ has degree distinct…

Caro, Davila, and Pepper (arXiv:1909.09093) recently proved $\delta(G) \alpha(G)\leq \Delta(G) \mu(G)$ for every graph $G$ with minimum degree $\delta(G)$, maximum degree $\Delta(G)$, independence number $\alpha(G)$, and matching number…

A fractional matching of a graph $G$ is a function $f:E(G)\rightarrow [0, 1]$ such that for any $v\in V(G)$, $\sum_{e\in E_{G}(v)}f(e)\leq1$, where $E_{G}(v)=\{e\in E(G): e~ \mbox{is incident with} ~v~\mbox{in}~G\}$.The fractional matching…

A path $P$ in an edge-colored graph $G$ is a \emph{proper path} if no two adjacent edges of $P$ are colored with the same color. The graph $G$ is \emph{proper connected} if, between every pair of vertices, there exists a proper path in $G$.…

Let $G$ be a graph and $g,f:V(G)\to2^N$ be two set functions such that $g(v)\le f(v)$ and $g(v)\equiv f(v)\pmod 2$ for every $v\in V(G)$. An orientation $O$ of $G$ is called a $(g,f)$-parity orientation if $g(v)\le d^+_O(v)\le f(v)$ and…

A $(\delta\geq k_1,\delta\geq k_2)$-partition of a graph $G$ is a vertex-partition $(V_1,V_2)$ of $G$ satisfying that $\delta(G[V_i])\geq k_i$ for $i=1,2$. We determine, for all positive integers $k_1,k_2$, the complexity of deciding…

We prove that $\chi(G) \leq \max {\omega(G), \Delta_2(G), (5/6)(\Delta(G) + 1)}$ for every graph $G$ with $\Delta(G) \geq 3$. Here $\Delta_2$ is the parameter introduced by Stacho that gives the largest degree that a vertex $v$ can have…

A spanning subgraph $F$ of a graph $G$ is called a $[1,b]$-odd factor if $b\equiv1$ (mod 2) and $d_F(v)\in\{1,3,\ldots,b\}$ for every $v\in V(G)$. A graph $G$ of order $n\geq k+2$ is $k$-critical with respect to $[1,b]$-odd factor if for…

A graph $G$ is $[a,b]$-covered if for each edge $e$ of $G$ there is an $[a,b]$-factor containing it. For $a=b=1$, an $[a,b]$-covered graph is a matching covered graph. The structural theory of matching covered graphs constitutes a…
