Abstract
We investigate tree decompositions (T,(X~t~)~tΟ΅V(T)~) whose width is βclose to optimalβ and such that all the subtrees of T induced by the vertices of the graph are βsmall.β We prove the existence of such decompositions for various interpretations of βclose to optimalβ and βsmall.β As a corollary of these results, we prove that the dilation of a graph is bounded by a logarithmic function of the congestion of the graph thereby settling a generalization of a conjecture of Bienstock.

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
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
## Abstract The main result of this paper completely settles Bermond's conjecture for bipartite graphs of odd degree by proving that if __G__ is a bipartite (2__k__ + 1)βregular graph that is Hamilton decomposable, then the line graph, __L__(__G__), of __G__ is also Hamilton decomposable. A similar
