Abstract

Let t be a positive integer, and let K=(k"1,...,k"t) and L=(l"1,...,l"t) be collections of nonnegative integers. A (t,K,L)-factorization of a graph is a decomposition of the graph into factors F"1,...,F"t such that F"i is k"i-regular and l"i-edge-connected. In this paper, we apply the technique of amalgamations of graphs to study (t,K,L)-factorizations of complete graphs. In particular, we describe precisely when it is possible to embed a factorization of K"m in a (t,K,L)-factorization of K"n.
