Plantholt–Tipnis multigraph 1-factorization conjecture
Plantholt–Tipnis multigraph 1-factorization conjecture
Let be a regular multigraph of order , and let its multiplicity be at most , meaning that no pair of vertices is joined by more than edges. A 1-factorization of is a decomposition of its edge set into perfect matchings.
Plantholt–Tipnis multigraph 1-factorization conjecture. If the degree of is at least , then is 1-factorizable.
This is the bounded-multiplicity multigraph generalization of the Chetwynd–Hilton conjecture. The source paper proves an asymptotic version: for every positive integer and , the assertion holds for all sufficiently large when the degree is at least ; the exact threshold remains open.
