Abstract

In this paper, necessary and sufficient conditions are found for a graph with exactly one amalgamated vertex to be the amalgamation of a k-factorization of K<sub>kn+1</sub> in which each k-factor is connected. From this result, necessary and sufficient conditions for a given edge-coloured K<sub>t</sub> to be embedded in a connected k-factorization of K<sub>kn+1</sub> are deduced.
