This confirms a question posted by K\\\"uhn and Osthus and is tight up to a constant factor. Our proof combines probabilistic methods with structural arguments based on Ore's Theorem on $f$-factors of bipartite graphs.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-06-14T03:11:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "linear minimum degree", "partitioning graphs", "absolute constant", "structural arguments", "probabilistic methods" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
