Hamiltonian decompositions of complete graphs

Hamiltonian decompositions of complete k-uniform hypergraphs

Using a generalisation of Hamiltonian cycles to uniform hypergraphs due to Katona and Kierstead, we define a new notion of a Hamiltonian decomposition of a uniform hypergraph. We then consider the problem of constructing such decompositions for complete uniform hypergraphs, and describe its relationship with other topics, such as design theory.

Commuting Decompositions of Complete Graphs

We say that two graphs G and H with the same vertex set commute if their adjacency matrices commute. In this article, we show that for any natural number r, the complete multigraphK n is decomposable into commuting perfect matchings if and only if n is a 2-power. Also, it is shown that the complete graph Kn is decomposable into commuting Hamilton cycles if and only if n is a prime number. © 200...

Decompositions of complete multipartite graphs

This paper answers a recent question of Dobson and Marušič by partitioning the edge set of a complete bipartite graph into two parts, both of which are edge sets of arctransitive graphs, one primitive and the other imprimitive. The first member of the infinite family is the one constructed by Dobson and Marušič.

Hamiltonian decompositions of random bipartite regular graphs

We prove a complete hamiltonian decomposition theorem for random bipartite regular graphs, thereby verifying a conjecture of Robinson and Wormald. The main step is to prove contiguity (a kind of asymptotic equivalence) of two probabilistic models of 4-regular bipartite graphs; namely, the uniform model, and the model obtained by taking the union of two independent, uniformly chosen bipartite Ha...
