Extremal Problems in Graph Theory: Hamiltonicity, Minimum Vertex -Diameter -2 -Critical Graphs and Decomposition

Abstract

dc:description

A star, K1,s, is the complete bipartite graph whose partite sets have size 1 and s, respectively. A graph G has the t-star property if every t vertices of G belong to a subgraph which is a star. Erdo&huml;s, Sauer, Schaer, and Spencer [ESSS] defined f(t, k) to be the minimum n such that the complete graph K n can be decomposed into k spanning subgraphs with the t-star property. We prove that ift≥3and k≥68+t,then ft,k ≥32˙2 tk+25-10t ˙2t-2-3. .
