On high discrepancy $1$-factorizations of complete graphs

Combinatorics 2025-03-24 v1

Abstract

We proved that for every sufficiently large nn, the complete graph K2nK_{2n} with an arbitrary edge signing σ:E(K2n){1,+1}\sigma: E(K_{2n}) \to \{-1, +1\} admits a high discrepancy 11-factor decomposition. That is, there exists a universal constant c>0c > 0 such that every edge-signed K2nK_{2n} has a perfect matching decomposition {ψ1,,ψ2n1}\{\psi_1, \ldots, \psi_{2n-1}\}, where for each perfect matching ψi\psi_i, the discrepancy 1neE(ψi)σ(e)\lvert \frac{1}{n} \sum_{e\in E(\psi_i)} \sigma(e) \rvert is at least cc.
