摘要
For k = 1 and k = 2, we prove that the obvious necessary numerical conditions for packing t pairwise edge-disjoint k-regular subgraphs of specified orders m(1), m(2),..., m(t) in the complete graph of order n are also sufficient. To do so, we present an edge-coloring technique which also yields new proofs of various known results on graph factorizations. For example, a new construction for Hamilton cycle decompositions of complete graphs is given. (C) 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Combin Designs 16: 499-506, 2008
