| contents | A graph $G$ is called $k$-factor-critical if after deleting any $k$ vertices the remaining subgraph still has a perfect matching. Fan and Lin [Adv. in Appl. Math. 174 (2026) 103019] posed an adjacency spectral condition for a graph with minimum degree to be $k$-factor-critical. A graph $G$ is fractional $k$-factor-critical if after deleting any $k$ vertices the remaining subgraph still has a fractional perfect matching. Clearly, the fractional $k$-factor-criticality of a graph is a necessary property for a graph to be $k$-factor-critical. Jia, Fan and Liu [Discrete Appl. Math. 386 (2026) 255-263] proposed a tight sufficient condition in terms of the spectral radius for a graph with fractional $k$-factor-criticality to be $k$-factor-critical. A natural question arises: can we derive analogous sufficient conditions by incorporating the minimum degree parameter of graphs?
We first establish a lower bound on the size to ensure that a $(k+1)$-connected graph with fractional $k$-factor-criticality is $k$-factor-critical, where $k$ is a positive integer with $k\geq1$. Moreover, we provide a sufficient condition in terms of the spectral radius for a $(k+1)$-connected graph with fractional $k$-factor-criticality to be $k$-factor-critical. Our results generalize the result of
Jia, Fan and Liu to $(k+1)$-connected graphs. Furthermore, our spectral conditions apply to a broader family of connected graphs compared with the results of Fan and Lin, as well as Jia et al. |
