One-Factorizations Of The Complete Graph $K_{P+1}$ Arising From Parabolas, György Kiss, Nicola Pace, Angelo Sonnino

Theory and Applications of Graphs

There are three types of affine regular polygons in AG(2, q): ellipse, hyperbola and parabola. The first two cases have been investigated in previous papers. In this note, a particular class of geometric one-factorizations of the complete graph Kn arising from parabolas is constructed and described in full detail. With the support of computer aided investigation, it is also conjectured that up to isomorphisms this is the only one-factorization where each one-factor is either represented by a line or a parabola.
