Abstract

We obtain a sharp result that for any even n ≥ 34, every (Dn; Dn+1)-regular graph of order n contains (n/4- disjoint perfect matchings, where Dn = 2(n/4)-1. As a consequence, for any integer D ≥ Dn, every (D; D + 1)- regular graph of order n contains (D-(n/4)+1) disjoint perfect matchings.
