## Abstract We prove that if T is any tree having __n__ edges (__n__ β₯ 1), then the __n__βcube Q~n~ can be decomposed into 2^nβ1^ edgeβdisjoint induced subgraphs, each of which is isomorphic to T. We use this statement to obtain two results concerning decompositions of Q~n~ into subgraphs isomorphi

β¦ Synopsis
For a complete bipartite graph to be decomposable into isomorphic cubes, certain conditions on the number of cube and bipartition vertices must hold. We prove these necessary conditions sufficient in some cases. For cubes of fixed dimension d (indeed for d-regular bipartite graphs in general) we show that proving sufficiency can be reduced to decomposing a finite number of complete bipartite graphs. When t = 2d-' and r is the remainder on dividing t by d, we
show Kr,r is decomposable into d-cubes and an r-factor, where if r > 0 this r-factor itself is decomposable into r-cubes.

## Abstract Necessary conditions for the complete graph on __n__ vertices to have a decomposition into 5βcubes are that 5 divides __n__βββ1 and 80 divides __n__(__n__βββ1)/2. These are known to be sufficient when __n__ is odd. We prove them also sufficient for __n__ even, thus completing the spectr
We study the Ha Β¨ggkvist conjecture which states that, for each tree T with n edges, there is an edge-partition of the complete bipartite graph K n;n into n isomorphic copies of T . We use the concept of bigraceful labelings, introduced in [7], which give rise to cyclic decompositions of K n;n . Whe
For a positive integer d, the usual d-dimensional cube Q d is defined to be the graph (K 2 ) d , the Cartesian product of d copies of K 2 . We define the generalized cube Q(K k , d) to be the graph (K k ) d for positive integers d and k. We investigate the decomposition of the complete multipartite
## Abstract We investigate highly symmetrical embeddings of the __n__βdimensional cube __Q__~__n__~ into orientable compact surfaces which we call regular embeddings of __Q__~__n__~. We derive some general results and construct some new families of regular embeddings of __Q__~__n__~. In particular,
