Title
Generalizations of the tree packing conjecture.
Abstract
The Gyarfas tree packing conjecture asserts that any set of trees with 2, 3,..., k vertices has an (edge-disjoint) packing into the complete graph on k vertices. Gyarfas and Lehel proved that the conjecture holds in some special cases. We address the problem of packing trees into k-chromatic graphs. In particular, we prove that if all but three of the trees are stars then they have a packing into any k-chromatic graph. We also consider several other generalizations of the conjecture.
