The Existence Of P≥3-Factor Covered Graphs

A spanning subgraph F of a graph G is called a P≥3-factor of G if every component of F is a path of order at least 3. A graph G is called a P≥3-factor covered graph if G has a P≥3-factor including e for any e ∈ E(G). In this paper, we obtain three sufficient conditions for graphs to be P≥3-factor co...
