Title
Tight binding number bound for P ≥3-factor uniform graphs
Abstract
AbstractHighlights •We prove the sharp binding number bound for P ≥ 3-factor uniform graphs.•Our result has potential applications in related network problems.•An open problem on factor uniform graph is proposed. AbstractA graph G is P ≥ k-factor uniform if for arbitrary e 1 , e 2 ∈ E ( G ) with e 1 ≠ e 2, G admits a P ≥ k-factor including e 1 and excluding e 2. Recently, Zhou and Sun [12] proved that a 2-edge-connected graph G is a P ≥ 3-factor uniform graph if b i n d ( G ) > 9 4. However, the maximum known binding number of a 2-edge-connected graph that is not P ≥ 3-factor uniform is 5/3. In this paper, we prove that b i n d ( G ) > 5 3 is exactly the tight binding number bound for P ≥ 3-factor uniform graphs.
