## Abstract In this study, we provide methods for drawing a tree with __n__ vertices on a convex polygon, without crossings and using the minimum number of edges of the polygon. We apply the results to obtain planar packings of two trees in some specific cases. Β© 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Grap

β¦ Synopsis
Let H be a tree on h 2 vertices. It is shown that if n is sufficiently large and G=(V, E ) is an n-vertex graph with $(G) wnΓ2x , then there are w |E |Γ(h&1)x edge-disjoint subgraphs of G which are isomorphic to H. In particular, if h&1 divides |E | then there is an H-decomposition of G. This result is best possible as there are infinitely many examples of trees on h vertices and graphs G with m(h&1) edges, $(G) wnΓ2x&1, for which G has no H-decomposition.

with β¦ G G V r2 q 10 h V log V , and h y 1 divides E , then there is a decomposition of the edges of G into copies of H. This result is asymptotically the best possible for all trees with at least three vertices.
An H-decomposition of a graph G is a partition of the edge-set of G into subsets, where each subset induces a copy of the graph H. A k-orthogonal H-decomposition of a graph G is a set of k H-decompositions of G, such that any two copies of H in distinct H-decompositions intersect in at most one edge
A partition of the edge set of a graph H into subsets inducing graphs H,, . . . , H, isomorphic to a graph G is said to be a G-decomposition of H. A G-decomposition of H is resolvable if the set {H,, . . . , H,} can be partitioned into subsets, called resolution classes, such that each vertex of H
