Let \(G\) be a graph of order \(n \geq 4k\) and let \(S\) be the graph obtained from \(K_4\) by removing two edges which have a common vertex. In this paper, we prove the following theorem:
A graph \(G\) of order \(n \geq 4k\) with \(\sigma_2(G) \geq n+k\) has \(k\) vertex-disjoint \(S\).This theorem implies that a graph \(G\) of order \(n = 4k\) with \(\sigma_2(G) \geq 5k\) has an \(S\)-factor.
