Abstract

In path factorization Ushio [8] gave the necessary and sufficient conditions for P_k design. When k is an even number, the spectrum problem is completely solved [9, 1]. For odd value of k the problem was studied by several researchers [7, 10, 11, 5, 2, 6]. In all these papers [7, 10, 11, 5, 2, 6] Ushio Conjecture [8] played an important role. Here in this paper we obtain a feasible network flow consisting of path factors of a bipartite graph satisfying the conditions of path factorization.
