Then a (g, f)-factor of G is a spanning subgraph H of G such that g(x) ≤ dH(x) 5 f(x) for each x ∈ V(H). A (g, f)-factorization of G is a partition of E(G) into edge-disjoint (g, f)-factors. Let F = {F1, F2,…… ， Fm } and H be a factorization and a subgraph of G, respectively. If F, 1 ≤ i ≤ m， has exactly one edge in common with H, then it is said that ■ is orthogonal to H. It is proved that every bipartite (mg + m - 1, mf - m + 1 )-graph G has a (g, f)-factorization orthogonal to k vertex disjoint m-subgraphs of G if 2-k ≤ g(x) for all x ∈ V(G).
