## Abstract We prove that a 171‐edge‐connected graph has an edge‐decomposition into paths of length 3 if and only its size is divisible by 3. It is a long‐standing problem whether 2‐edge‐connectedness is sufficient for planar triangle‐free graphs, and whether 3‐edge‐connectedness suffices for graph

## Abstract Let __G__ = (__V__,__E__) be a graph or digraph and __r__ : __V__ → __Z__~+~. An __r__‐detachment of __G__ is a graph __H__ obtained by ‘splitting’ each vertex ν ∈ __V__ into __r__(ν) vertices. The vertices ν~1~,…,ν~__r__(ν)~ obtained by splitting ν are called the __pieces__ of ν in __H
We prove an asymptotic existence theorem for decompositions of edge-colored complete graphs into prespecified edge-colored subgraphs. Many combinatorial design problems fall within this framework. Applications of our main theorem require calculations involving the numbers of edges of each color and
For any positive integer s, an s-partition of a graph G = ( ! -( €I is a partition of E into El U E2 U U E k, where 14 = s for 1 I i 5 k -1 and 1 5 1 4 1 5 s and each €; induces a connected subgraph of G. We prove (i) if G is connected, then there exists a 2-partition, but not neces-(ii) if G is 2-e
