Local Balance in Graph Decompositions

Combinatorics 2020-02-21 v1

Abstract

In a balanced graph decomposition, every vertex of the host graph appears in the same number of blocks. We propose the use of colored loops as a framework for unifying various other types of local balance conditions in graph decompositions. In the basic case where a single graph with colored loops is used as a block, an existence theory for such decompositions follows as a straightforward generalization of previous work on balanced graph decompositions.
