The spouse-loving Oberwolfach conjecture for four groups of odd cycle length

Let mm be a positive odd integer. The spouse-loving variant of the Oberwolfach problem, denoted OP+(n;m)\operatorname{OP}^+(n;m), asks whether the graph Kn+IK_n+I admits a CmC_m-factorization, where II is a 1-factor and CmC_m is a cycle of length mm. Spouse-loving Oberwolfach conjecture. The problem OP+(4m;m)\operatorname{OP}^+(4m;m) has a solution if and only if m5m\geq 5. This is the only case left unresolved by the paper's almost complete solution of the spouse-loving variant of the Oberwolfach problem with uniform cycle lengths.
