摘要
The toughness of a graph G, denoted by t(G), is defined as the largest real number t such that the deletion of any s vertices from G results in a graph which is either connected or else has at most s/t components. Chvátal who introduced the concept of toughness in [2] conjectured that if G is a graph and k a positive integer such that k |V(G)| is even and t(G)≥k then G has a k-factor. In [3] it was proved that Chvátal's conjecture is true. The main purpose of this paper is to present two theorems which imply the truth of Chvátal's conjecture as a special case. © 1990.
