Abstract: For a graph G and a set H of connected graphs, an H-factor of G is a spanning subgraph of G with each component isomorphic to some member in H. If each component of H is isomorphic to a path, then we call the H-factor a path-factor. For each integer k ≥ 2, a graph G is P≥k-factor uniform if for any two distinct edges e1 and e2, G admits a P≥k-factor including e1 and excluding e2. In this note, we determine two lower bounds on the degree sum of non-adjacent vertices to ensure that G is P≥k-factor uniform for k = 2 and k = 3. Furthermore, we construct some extremal graphs to show that the bounds are best possible. The results improve some known results slightly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
