## 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
We prove that if (\Delta) is a minimal generating set for a nontrivial group (\Gamma) and (T) is an oriented tree having (|\Delta|) edges, then the Cayley color graph (D_{\Delta}(\Gamma)) can be decomposed into (|\Gamma|) edge-disjoint subgraphs, each of which is isomorphic to (T); we say that (D_{\Delta}(\Gamma)) is (T)-decomposable. This result is extended to obtain a result concerning (H)-decompositions of Cayley graphs for weakly connected oriented graphs (H). The first result is then used to derive several theorems concerning decompositions of Cayley color graphs into prescribed families of oriented trees. Applications of some of these theorems to the verification of statements about decompositions of the (n)-dimensional hypercube (Q_{n}) are also discussed. O 1994 Academic Press, Inc.

## Abstract Let __Z__~__p__~ denote the cyclic group of order __p__ where __p__ is a prime number. Let __X__ = __X__(__Z__~__p__~, __H__) denote the Cayley digraph of __Z__~__p__~ with respect to the symbol __H__. We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition on __H__ so that the complete graph on
Let G be a finite group, S a subset of G=f1g; and let Cay Γ°G; SΓ denote the Cayley digraph of G with respect to S: If, for any subset T of G=f1g; CayΓ°G; SΓ ffi CayΓ°G; T Γ implies that S a ΒΌ T for some a 2 AutΓ°GΓ; then S is called a CI-subset. The group G is called a CIM-group if for any minimal gene
For a subset S of a group G such that 1 / β S and S = S -1 , the associated Cayley graph Cay(G, S) is the graph with vertex set G such that {x, y} is an edge if and only if yx -1 β S. Each Ο β Aut(G) induces an isomorphism from Cay(G, S) to the Cayley graph Cay(G, S Ο ). For a positive integer m, th
Let Tp be any tree of order p and A ( T p ) stand for the maximum degree of the vertices of Tp. We prove the following theorem. "If A(Tp) 5 pi, where p > 2i, then Tp is i-placeable in Kp" is true if and only if i = 1, 2, and 3. 0 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Suppose G is a graph and V ( G ) , E ( G
## Abstract A short proof is given of the impossibility of decomposing the complete graph on __n__ vertices into __n__β2 or fewer complete bipartite graphs.
