چکیده

The complete graph on n vertices is denoted by K, and the graph on n vertices in which each pair of vertices is joined by exactly 2 edges is denoted by 2K,. An m-cycle is a sequence of m distinct vertices (u1, u2, . . . . u,) such that ui is adjacent to ui+ 1 and U, is adjacent to u1 . A spanning subgraph H of G is a subgraph for which V(H) = V(G). An i-factor of a graph G is a spanning subgraph of G that is regular of degree i (so each component of a 2-factor is a cycle). An m-cycle decomposition of a graph G is defined to be an ordered pair (G, C(m)), where C(m) is a collection of edge-disjoint m-cycles which partition the edge set E(G) of G. An m-cycle decomposition is resolvable if the m-cycles in C(m) can be partitioned into 2-factors of G. The Oberwolfach problem was first formulated by Ringel and was first mentioned in [8]. The part of this problem which has attracted the most

Orthogonal Double Covers by Super-Extendable Cycles

An Orthogonal Double Cover (ODC) of the complete graph Kn by an almosthamiltonian cycle is a decomposition of 2Kn into cycles of length n 1 such that the intersection of any two of them is exactly one edge.We introduce a new class of such decompositions. If n is a prime, the special structure of such a decomposition allows to expand it to an ODC of Knþ1 by an almost-hamiltonian cycle. This yiel...

Resolvable gregarious cycle decompositions of complete equipartite graphs

The complete multipartite graph Kn(m) with n parts of size m is shown to have a decomposition into n-cycles in such a way that each cycle meets each part of Kn(m); that is, each cycle is said to be gregarious. Furthermore, gregarious decompositions are given which are also resolvable. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

On the Directed Oberwolfach Problem with Equal Cycle Lengths

We examine the necessary and sufficient conditions for a complete symmetric digraph K n to admit a resolvable decomposition into directed cycles of length m. We give a complete solution for even m, and a partial solution for odd m.

A note on uniformly resolvable decompositions of Kv and Kv-I into 2-stars and 4-cycles

In this paper we consider the uniformly resolvable decomposition of the complete graph Kv, or the complete graph minus a 1-factor Kv − I, into two graphs such that each resolution class contains only blocks isomorphic to the same graph. We completely solve the case in which the resolution classes are either all 2-stars or 4-cycles.

On path-cycle decompositions of triangle-free graphs

In this work, we study conditions for the existence of length-constrained path-cycle decompositions, that is, partitions of the edge set of a graph into paths and cycles of a given minimum length. Our main contribution is the characterization of the class of all triangle-free graphs with odd distance at least 3 that admit a path-cycle decomposition with elements of length at least 4. As a conse...
