Enclosings of λ‐Fold 5‐Cycle Systems: Adding One Vertex

A k‐cycle system of a multigraph G is an ordered pair (V, C) where V is the vertex set of G and C is a set of k‐cycles, the edges of which partition the edges of G. A k‐cycle system of is known as a λ‐fold k‐cycle system of order V. A k‐cycle system of (V, C) is said to be enclosed in a k‐cycle system of if and . We settle the difficult enclosing problem for λ‐fold 5‐cycle systems with u = 1.
