We make progress on three long standing conjectures from the 1960s about path and cycle decompositions of graphs. Gallai conjectured that any connected graph on $n$ vertices can be decomposed into at most $leftlceil frac{n}{2}rightrceil$ paths, while a conjecture of Haj{o}s states that any Eulerian graph on $n$ vertices can be decomposed into at most $leftlfloor frac{n-1}{2}rightrfloor$ cycles. The ErdH{o}s-Gallai conjecture states that any graph on $n$ vertices can be decomposed into $O(n)$ cycles and edges. We show that if $G$ is a sufficiently large graph on $n$ vertices with linear minimum degree, then the following hold. (i) $G$ can be decomposed into at most $frac{n}{2}+o(n)$ paths. (ii) If $G$ is Eulerian, then it can be decomposed into at most $frac{n}{2}+o(n)$ cycles. (iii) $G$ can be decomposed into at most $frac{3 n}{2}+o(n)$ cycles and edges. If in addition $G$ satisfies a weak expansion property, we asymptotically determine the required number of paths/cycles for each such $G$. (iv) $G$ can be decomposed into $max left{frac{odd(G)}{2},frac{Delta(G)}{2}right}+o(n)$ paths, where $odd(G)$ is the number of odd-degree vertices of $G$. (v) If $G$ is Eulerian, then it can be decomposed into $frac{Delta(G)}{2}+o(n)$ cycles. All bounds in (i)-(v) are asymptotically best possible.

Our main result is that every graph $G$ on $nge 10^4r^3$ vertices with minimum degree $delta(G) ge (1 - 1 / 10^4 r^{3/2} ) n$ has a fractional $K_r$-decomposition. Combining this result with recent work of Barber, Kuhn, Lo and Osthus leads to the bes t known minimum degree thresholds for exact (non-fractional) $F$-decompositions for a wide class of graphs~$F$ (including large cliques). For general $k$-uniform hypergraphs, we give a short argument which shows that there exists a constant $c_k>0$ such that every $k$-uniform hypergraph $G$ on $n$ vertices with minimum codegree at least $(1- c_k /r^{2k-1}) n $ has a fractional $K^{(k)}_r$-decomposition, where $K^{(k)}_r$ is the complete $k$-uniform hypergraph on $r$ vertices. (Related fractional decomposition results for triangles have been obtained by Dross and for hypergraph cliques by Dukes as well as Yuster.) All the above new results involve purely combinatorial arguments. In particular, this yields a combinatorial proof of Wilsons theorem that every large $F$-divisible complete graph has an $F$-decomposition.
In 1976, Alspach, Mason, and Pullman conjectured that any tournament $T$ of even order can be decomposed into exactly ${rm ex}(T)$ paths, where ${rm ex}(T):= frac{1}{2}sum_{vin V(T)}|d_T^+(v)-d_T^-(v)|$. We prove this conjecture for all sufficiently large tournaments. We also prove an asymptotically optimal result for tournaments of odd order.
59 - Felix Joos , Marcus Kuhn 2021
We prove that for any integer $kgeq 2$ and $varepsilon>0$, there is an integer $ell_0geq 1$ such that any $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices with minimum codegree at least $(1/2+varepsilon)n$ has a fractional decomposition into tight cycles of le ngth $ell$ ($ell$-cycles for short) whenever $ellgeq ell_0$ and $n$ is large in terms of $ell$. This is essentially tight. This immediately yields also approximate integral decompositions for these hypergraphs into $ell$-cycles. Moreover, for graphs this even guarantees integral decompositions into $ell$-cycles and solves a problem posed by Glock, Kuhn and Osthus. For our proof, we introduce a new method for finding a set of $ell$-cycles such that every edge is contained in roughly the same number of $ell$-cycles from this set by exploiting that certain Markov chains are rapidly mixing.
Let $G$ be a graph whose edges are coloured with $k$ colours, and $mathcal H=(H_1,dots , H_k)$ be a $k$-tuple of graphs. A monochromatic $mathcal H$-decomposition of $G$ is a partition of the edge set of $G$ such that each part is either a single edg e or forms a monochromatic copy of $H_i$ in colour $i$, for some $1le ile k$. Let $phi_{k}(n,mathcal H)$ be the smallest number $phi$, such that, for every order-$n$ graph and every $k$-edge-colouring, there is a monochromatic $mathcal H$-decomposition with at most $phi$ elements. Extending the previous results of Liu and Sousa [Monochromatic $K_r$-decompositions of graphs, Journal of Graph Theory}, 76:89--100, 2014], we solve this problem when each graph in $mathcal H$ is a clique and $nge n_0(mathcal H)$ is sufficiently large.
It is proved that if a graph is regular of even degree and contains a Hamilton cycle, or regular of odd degree and contains a Hamiltonian $3$-factor, then its line graph is Hamilton decomposable. This result partially extends Kotzigs result that a $3 $-regular graph is Hamiltonian if and only if its line graph is Hamilton decomposable, and proves the conjecture of Bermond that the line graph of a Hamilton decomposable graph is Hamilton decomposable.
