A $\\{P_{2},C_{3},P_{5},\\mathcal{T}(3)\\}$-factor of $G$ is a spanning subgraph of $G$ such that each component is isomorphic to a member in $\\{P_{2},C_{3},P_{5},\\mathcal{T}(3)\\}$, where $\\mathcal{T}(3)$ is a $\\{1,2,3\\}$-tree. The $A_{\\alpha}$-spectral radius of $G$ is denoted by $\\rho_{\\alpha}(G)$. In this paper, we obtain a lower bound on the size or the $A_{\\alpha}$-spectral radius for $\\alpha\\in[0,1)$ of $G$ to guarantee that $G$ has a $\\{P_{2},C_{3},P_{5},\\mathcal{T}(3)\\}$-factor, and construct an extremal graph to show that the bound on $A_{\\alpha}$-spectral radius is optimal.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2024-12-20T06:03:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C50", "05C35" ], "keywords": [ "spectral radius", "lower bound", "extremal graph", "connected graph", "spanning subgraph" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
