Title
On the Corrádi-Hajnal theorem and a question of Dirac.
Abstract
In 1963, Corrádi and Hajnal proved that for all k≥1 and n≥3k, every graph G on n vertices with minimum degree δ(G)≥2k contains k disjoint cycles. The bound δ(G)≥2k is sharp. Here we characterize those graphs with δ(G)≥2k−1 that contain k disjoint cycles. This answers the simple-graph case of Dirac's 1963 question on the characterization of (2k−1)-connected graphs with no k disjoint cycles.
