We say $G$ is \emph{$(Q_n,Q_m)$-saturated} if it is a maximal $Q_m$-free subgraph of the $n$-dimensional hypercube $Q_n$. A graph, $G$, is said to be $(Q_n,Q_m)$-semi-saturated if it is a subgraph of $Q_n$ and adding any edge forms a new…

Wu in 1999 conjectured that if $H$ is a subgraph of the complete graph $K_{2n+1}$ with $n$ edges, then there is a Hamiltonian cycle decomposition of $K_{2n+1}$ such that each edge of $H$ is in a separate Hamiltonian cycle. The conjecture…

We consider the problem of decomposing some $t$-uniform hypergraph $G$ into copies of another, say $H$, with nonnegative rational weights. For fixed $H$ on $k$ vertices, we show that this is always possible for all $G$ having sufficiently…

The spined cube $SQ_n$ is a variant of the hypercube $Q_n$, introduced by Zhou et al. in [Information Processing Letters 111 (2011) 561-567] as an interconnection network for parallel computing. A graph $\G$ is an $m$-Cayley graph if its…

Let $Q_n = \{0, 1\}^n$ be a hypercube graph. The initial segment $I_k \subseteq Q_n$ is the subset consisting of the first $k$ vertices of $Q_n$ in the binary order. A pair of integers $(a, b) \in \mathbb{Z}_{>0}^2$ is said to be fit if,…

An odd (resp. even) subgraph in a multigraph is its subgraph in which every vertex has odd (resp. even) degree. We say that a multigraph can be decomposed into two odd subgraphs if its edge set can be partitioned into two sets so that both…

Let $k\geq\ell\geq1$ and $n\geq 1$ be integers. Let $G(k,n)$ be the complete $k$-partite graph with $n$ vertices in each colour class. An $\ell$-decomposition of $G(k,n)$ is a set $X$ of copies of $K_k$ in $G(k,n)$ such that each copy of…

Haj\'os conjecture asserts that a simple Eulerian graph on n vertices can be decomposed into at most (n - 1)/2 cycles. The conjecture is only proved for graph classes in which every element contains vertices of degree 2 or 4. We develop new…

A $k$-star decomposition of a graph is a partition of its edges into $k$-stars (i.e., $k$ edges with a common vertex). The paper studies the following problem: given $k \leq d/2$, does the random $d$-regular graph have a $k$-star…

The Ascending Subgraph Decomposition (ASD) Conjecture asserts that every graph $G$ with ${n+1\choose 2}$ edges admits an edge decomposition $G=H_1\oplus\cdots \oplus H_n$ such that $H_i$ has $i$ edges and it is isomorphic to a subgraph of…

A Hypercube $Q_n$ is a graph in which the vertices are all binary vectors of length n, and two vertices are adjacent if and only if their components differ in exactly one place. A galaxy or a star forest is a union of vertex disjoint stars.…

This paper focuses on the embeddability of hypercubes in an important class of Cayley graphs, known as augmented cubes. An $n$-dimensional augmented cube $AQ_n$ is constructed by augmenting the $n$-dimensional hypercube $Q_n$ with…

We consider a family of toroidal graphs, denoted by $\mathcal{T}_{i, j}$, which contain neither $i$-cycles nor $j$-cycles. A graph $G$ is $(d, h)$-decomposable if it contains a subgraph $H$ with $\Delta(H) \leq h$ such that $G - E(H)$ is a…

A $(d,h)$-decomposition of a graph $G$ is an ordered pair $(D, H)$ such that $H$ is a subgraph of $G$ of maximum degree at most $h$ and $D$ is an acyclic orientation of $G-E(H)$ with maximum out-degree at most $d$. In this paper, we prove…

Decomposing hypergraphs is a key task in hypergraph analysis with broad applications in community detection, pattern discovery, and task scheduling. Existing approaches such as $k$-core and neighbor-$k$-core rely on vertex degree…

This paper shows that, for any integers $n$ and $k$ with $0\leqslant k \leqslant n-2$, at least $(k+1)!(n-k-1)$ vertices or edges have to be removed from an $n$-dimensional star graph to make it disconnected and no vertices of degree less…

If $H$ is (or is isomorphic to) a subgraph of $G$, $H$ is said to {\it divide} $G$ if there is an edge-decomposition of $G$ by copies of $E(H)$, the edge set of $H$. A more restrictive version of this is when there is a subgroup ${\cal H}$…

A tree containing exactly two non-pendant vertices is called a double-star. A double-star with degree sequence $(k_1+ 1, k_2+ 1, 1, \ldots, 1)$ is denoted by $S_{k_1, k_2}$. We study the edge-decomposition of regular graphs into…

We prove that for any integer $k\geq 2$ and $\varepsilon>0$, there is an integer $\ell_0\geq 1$ such that any $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices with minimum codegree at least $(1/2+\varepsilon)n$ has a fractional decomposition into…

An (edge) decomposition of a graph $G$ is a set of subgraphs of $G$ whose edge sets partition the edge set of $G$. Here we show, for each odd $\ell \geq 5$, that any graph $G$ of sufficiently large order $n$ with minimum degree at least…
