Abstract
Abstract In this paper, we investigate existence of triangle-factors, that is 2-factors in which every cycle is of length 3, in powers of graphs of order 3 k , k ≥ 1. It is easy to show that G 4 contains a triangle-factor for any connected graph and G 3 contains a triangle-factor for any connected claw-free graph G Our main result is that G 3 contains a triangle-factor for any 2-connected graph G. We also show, using the same method, that any 2-connected claw-free graph contains a P 3 -factor which implies that the square of the graph contains a triangle-factor.
