✦ Synopsis
The join K~ V2K2 is the graph obtained by taking a copy ofK, ~ and two disjoint copies of K2, disjoint from K c, and joining every vertex of K, c to every vertex of 2K2. In this paper we show that for each positive integer n, the graph K, ~ V 2/(2 admits a p-valuation and has gracefulness 4n + 3. Further, for any finite set So of positive integers and n ~>2Max{x E So} + 1, a new graph valuation, p(n;So), is introduced. Finally, some open problems are proposed.

In this article, we show that every simple r-regular graph G admits a balanced P 4 -decomposition if r ≡ 0(mod 3) and G has no cut-edge when r is odd. We also show that a connected 4-regular graph G admits a P 4 -decomposition if and only if |E(G)| ≡ 0(mod 3) by characterizing graphs of maximum degr
In this paper we discuss isomorphic decompositions of regular bipartite graphs into trees and forests. We prove that: (1) there is a wide class of r-regular bipartite graphs that are decomposable into any tree of size r, (2) every r-regular bipartite graph decomposes into any double star of size r,
## Abstract Kotzig asked in 1979 what are necessary and sufficient conditions for a __d__‐regular simple graph to admit a decomposition into paths of length __d__ for odd __d__>3. For cubic graphs, the existence of a 1‐factor is both necessary and sufficient. Even more, each 1‐factor is extendable
