An Ore-type Condition for Large $k$-factor and Disjoint Perfect Matchings

Win [\emph{J. Graph Theory} {\bf 6}(1982), 489–492] conjectured that a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices contains $k$ disjoint perfect matchings, if the degree sum of any two nonadjacent vertices is at least $n+k-2$, where $n$ is even and $n\ge k+2$. In this paper, we prove that Win’s conjecture is true for $k\geq n/2$,where$n$ is sufficiently large. To show this result, we prove a theorem on $k$-factor in a graph under some Ore-type condition. Our main tools include Tutte’s $k$-factor theorem, the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker theorem on convex optimization, and the solution to the longstanding 1-factor decomposition conjecture.
