Ringel’S Conjecture

AbstractA typical decomposition question asks whether the edges of some graph G can be partitioned into disjoint copies of another graph H. One of the oldest and best known conjectures in this area, posed by Ringel in 1963, concerns the decomposition of complete graphs into edge-disjoint copies of a tree. It says that any tree with n edges packs $$2n+1$$ 2 n + 1 times into the complete graph $$K_{2n+1}$$ K 2 n + 1 . In this paper, we prove this conjecture for large n.

It is shown that if $G$ is any bipartite 2-regular graph of order at most $n/2$ or at least $n-2$, then the obvious necessary conditions are sufficient for the existence of a decomposition of the complete graph of order $n$ into a perfect matching and edge-disjoint copies of $G$.

International audience Can a complete graph on an even number n (>4) of vertices be properly edge-colored with n-1 colors in such a way that the edges can be partitioned into edge disjoint colorful isomorphic spanning trees? A spanning treee is colorful if all n-1 colors occur among its edges. It is proved that this is possible to accomplish whenever n is a power of two, or five times a power of two.

<p>A <span class="math"><em>G</em></span>-decomposition of the complete graph <span class="math"><em>K</em><sub><em>n</em></sub></span> is a family of pairwise edge disjoint subgraphs of <span class="math"><em>K</em><sub><em>n</em></sub></span>, all isomorphic to <span class="math"><em>G</em></span>, such that every edge of <span class="math"><em>K</em><sub><em>n</em></sub></span> belongs to exactly one copy of <span class="math"><em>G</em></span>. Using standard decomposition techniques based on <span class="math"><em>ρ</em></span>-labelings, introduced by Rosa in 1967, and their modifications we show that each of the ten non-isomorphic connected unicyclic graphs with eight edges containing the pentagon decomposes the complete graph <span class="math"><em>K</em><sub><em>n</em></sub></span> whenever the necessary conditions are satisfied.</p>

Although the problem of finding the minimum number of planar graphs into which the complete graph can be decomposed remains partially unsolved, the corresponding problem can be solved for certain other surfaces. For three, the torus, the double-torus, and the projective plane, a single proof will be given to provide the solutions. The same questions will also be answered for bicomplete graphs.

We construct a graph G such that any embedding of G into R3 contains a nonsplit link of two components, where at least one of the components is a nontrivial knot. Further, for any m < n we produce a graph H so that every embedding of H contains a nonsplit n component link, where at least m of the components are nontrivial knots. We then turn our attention to complete graphs and show that for any given n, every embedding of a large enough complete graph contains a 2-component link whose linking number is a nonzero multiple of n. Finally, we show that if a graph is a Cartesian product of the form G × K2, it is intrinsically linked if and only if G contains one of K5, K3,3 or K4,2 as a minor.

Bipartite Tournament

Jackson [10] gave a polynomial sufficient condition for a bipartite tournament to contain a cycle of a given length. The question arises as to whether deciding on the maximum length of a cycle in a bipartite tournament is polynomial. The problem was considered by Manoussakis [12] in the slightly more general setting of 2-edge coloured complete graphs: is it polynomial to find a longest alternating cycle in such coloured graphs? In this paper, strong evidence is given that such an algorithm exists. In fact, using a reduction to the well known exact matching problem, we prove that the problem is random polynomial.

Perfect one-factorization of the complete graph K2n for all n greater and equal to 2 is conjectured. Nevertheless some families of complete graphs were found to have perfect one-factorization. This paper will show some of the perfect one-factorization results in some families of complete graph as well as some result in application. Keywords: complete graph, one-factorization
