Title
Arbitrary decompositions into open and closed trails
Abstract
The problem of arbitrary decomposition of a graph G into closed trails i.e. a decomposition into closed trails of prescribed lengths summing up to the size of the graph G was first considered in the case of the complete graph G=K"n (for odd n) in connection with vertex-distinguishing coloring of the union of cycles. Next, the same problem was investigated for other families of graphs. In this paper we consider a more general problem: arbitrary decomposition of a graph into open and closed trails. Our results are based on and generalize known results on decomposition of a graph into closed trails. Our results also generalize some results concerning decomposition of a graph into open trails. We here emphasize that the known results on the closed case are basic ingredients for the proof of the open and closed case.
