In this study, we show that necessary conditions for $Q_4$-factorization of $lambda{K_n}$ and $lambda{K_{x(m)}}$ (complete $x$ partite graph with parts of size $m$) are sufficient. We proved that there exists a $Q_4$-factorization of $lambda{K_{x(m)}}$ if and only if $mxequiv{0} pmod{16}$ and $lambda{m(x-1)}equiv{0}pmod{4}$. This result immediately gives that $lambda K_n$ has a $Q_4$-factorization if and only if $nequiv 0 pmod{16}$ and $lambda equiv 0 pmod{4}$.

We show that there is a unique way to partition a $5times 5$ array of lattice points into restrictions of five circles. This result is extended to the $6times 5$ array, and used to show the optimality of a six-circle solution for the $6times 6$ array.

A $P_{geq n}$-factor means a path factor with each component having at least $n$ vertices,where $ngeq2$ is an integer. A graph $G$ is called a $P_{geq n}$-factor deleted graph if $G-e$admits a $P_{geq n}$-factor for any $ein E(G)$. A graph $G$ is called a $P_{geq n}$-factorcovered graph if $G$ admits a $P_{geq n}$-factor containing $e$ for each $ein E(G)$. In thispaper, we first introduce a new parameter, i.e., sun toughness, which is denoted by $s(G)$. $s(G)$is defined as follows:$$s(G)=min{frac{|X|}{sun(G-X)}: Xsubseteq V(G), sun(G-X)geq2}$$if $G$ is not a complete graph, and $s(G)=+infty$ if $G$ is a complete graph, where $sun(G-X)$denotes the number of sun components of $G-X$. Then we obtain two sun toughness conditions for agraph to be a $P_{geq n}$-factor deleted graph or a $P_{geq n}$-factor covered graph. Furthermore,it is shown that our results are sharp.
