Path-systems in regular graphs and bipartite graphs

We say that a graph \(G\) has a path-system with respect to a set \(W\) of even number of vertices in \(G\) if \(G\) has vertex-disjoint paths \(P_1,P_2, \ldots, P_m\) such that (i) each path \(P_i\) connects two vertices of \(W\) and (ii) the set of end-vertices of the paths \(P_i\) is exactly \(W\). In particular, \(m=|W|/2\). Moreover, if \(G\) has a path-system with respect to every set \(W\) of even number of vertices in \(G\), we say that \(G\) has a path system. We prove the following theorems: (i) if \(G\) is an \(r\)-edge-connected \(r\)-regular graph, then for any \(r-1\) edges \(e_1,\ldots, e_{r-1}\), \(G-\{e_1,\ldots, e_{r-1}\}\) has a path-system, (ii) every \(k\)-connected \(K_{1,k+1}\)-free graph has a path-system, and (iii) if a connected bipartite graph \(G\) with bipartition \((A,B)\) satisfies \(|A| \le 2|B|\), \(|N_G(X)| \ge 2|X|\) or \(N_G(X)=B\) for all \(X\subseteq A\), and \(|N_G(Y)| \ge |Y|\) or \(N_G(Y)=A\) for all \(Y\subseteq B\), then \(G\) has a path-system with respect to every set \(W\) of even number of vertices of \(A\).

Title: Path-systems in regular graphs and bipartite graphs

Description:

In particular, \(m=|W|/2\).

Moreover, if \(G\) has a path-system with respect to every set \(W\) of even number of vertices in \(G\), we say that \(G\) has a path system.

We prove the following theorems: (i) if \(G\) is an \(r\)-edge-connected \(r\)-regular graph, then for any \(r-1\) edges \(e_1,\ldots, e_{r-1}\), \(G-\{e_1,\ldots, e_{r-1}\}\) has a path-system, (ii) every \(k\)-connected \(K_{1,k+1}\)-free graph has a path-system, and (iii) if a connected bipartite graph \(G\) with bipartition \((A,B)\) satisfies \(|A| \le 2|B|\), \(|N_G(X)| \ge 2|X|\) or \(N_G(X)=B\) for all \(X\subseteq A\), and \(|N_G(Y)| \ge |Y|\) or \(N_G(Y)=A\) for all \(Y\subseteq B\), then \(G\) has a path-system with respect to every set \(W\) of even number of vertices of \(A\).
