| Some factorizations of graphs into C5-Factors and 1-Factors |
In [1], we show that K_{10n} can be factored into \alpha C_5-factors and \beta 1-factors for all non-negative integers \alpha and \beta satisfying 2\alpha + \beta = 10n-1. The constructions in [1] rely on the existence of factorizations of certain graphs into C_5-factors and 1-factors. In this research report we present the necessary factorizations, which were found computationally.
