Abstract
Kaiser and Vrana [European J. Combin. 33 (2012), 924-947] showed that every 5-connected line graph of minimum degree at least 6 is hamiltonian, which gives a partial solution to Thomassen’s Conjecture on hamiltonicity of line graphs [J. Graph Theory 10 (1986), 309-324]. In this paper, we prove that every 5-connected line graph of sufficiently large order compared with a given positive integer k and of minimum degree at least 6 also has a 2-factor with exactly k cycles. In order to show this result, we investigate minimum degree conditions for the existence of such a 2-factor in hamiltonian line graphs.
