Title
Minimum H-decompositions of graphs
Abstract
Given graphs G and H, an H-decomposition of G is a partition of the edge set of G such that each part is either a single edge or forms a graph isomorphic to H. Let @f"H(n) be the smallest number @f such that any graph G of order n admits an H-decomposition with at most @f parts. Here we determine the asymptotic of @f"H(n) for any fixed graph H as n tends to infinity. The exact computation of @f"H(n) for an arbitrary H is still an open problem. Bollobas [B. Bollobas, On complete subgraphs of different orders, Math. Proc. Cambridge Philos. Soc. 79 (1976) 19-24] accomplished this task for cliques. When H is bipartite, we determine @f"H(n) with a constant additive error and provide an algorithm returning the exact value with running time polynomial in logn.
