An Asymptotic Version of the Multigraph 1‐Factorization Conjecture

We give a self‐contained proof that for all positive integers r and all , there is an integer such that for all any regular multigraph of order 2n with multiplicity at most r and degree at least is 1‐factorizable. This generalizes results of Perkovi? and Reed (Discrete Math 165/166 (1997), 567–578) and Plantholt and Tipnis (J London Math Soc 44 (1991), 393–400).
