. In [3], Faudree et al. considered the proposition “Every { X,Y } -free graph of sufficiently large order has a 2-factor,” and they determined those pairs { X,Y } which make this proposition true. Their result says that one of them is { X,Y } = { K 1 , 4 ,P 4 } . In this paper, we investigate the existence of 2-factors in r -connected { K 1 ,k ,P 4 } -free graphs. We prove that if r ≥ 1 and k ≥ 2, and if G is an r -connected { K 1 ,k ,P 4 } -free graph with minimum degree at least k − 1, then G has a 2-factor with at most max { k − r, 1 } components unless (k − 1 )K 2 + (k − 2 )K 1 ⊆ G ⊆ (k − 1 )K 2 + K k − 2 . The bound on the minimum degree is best possible.
