For any positive integer $s$, a $[2,2s]$-factor in a graph $G$ is a connected even factor with maximum degree at most $2s$. We prove that if every induced $S(K_{1, 2s+1})$ in a graph $G$ has at least 3 edges in a block of degree at most…

Let s<t be two fixed positive integers. We study what are the minimum degree conditions for a bipartite graph G, with both color classes of size n=k(s+t), which ensure that G has a K_{s,t}-factor. Exact result for large n is given. Our…

A graph is said to be $K_{1,r}$-free if it does not contain an induced subgraph isomorphic to $K_{1,r}$. An $\mathcal{F}$-factor is a spanning subgraph $H$ such that each connected component of $H$ is isomorphic to some graph in…

Let $G$ be a graph and let $f$ be a positive integer-valued function on $V(G)$ satisfying $2m\le f\le b$, where $b$ and $m$ are two positive integers with $b\ge 4m^2$. In this paper, we show that if $G$ is $b^2$-tough and $|V(G)|\ge b^2$,…

An eigenvalue of a graph $G$ is called a main eigenvalue if it has an eigenvector the sum of whose entries is not equal to zero. It is well known that a graph $G$ has exactly two main eigenvalues if and only if there exists a unique pair of…

In 1970 Lov{\'a}sz gave a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a factor $F$ in a graph $G$ such that for each vertex $v$, $g(v)\le d_F(v)\le f(v)$, where $g$ and $f$ are two integer-valued functions on $V(G)$ with $g\le…

For a graph $G = (V(G), E(G))$, let $i(G)$ be the number of isolated vertices in $G$. The {\it isolated toughness} of $G$ is defined as $I(G) = min\{|S|/i(G-S) : S\subseteq V(G), i(G-S)\geq 2\}$ if $G$ is not complete; $I(G)=|V(G)|-1$…
