均衡完全三部图K3（n）的线性3-荫度

考虑均衡完全三部图K3（n）的线性3-荫度.利用路分解的方法给出了K3（n）的线性3-荫度la3（Κ3（n））当n≡1,2,3（mod 4）时的比较紧的上界,利用线性k-荫度的基本理论分别得到了它们的下界,进而得到了特殊情况下均衡完全三部图K3（n）的线性3-荫度的确切值.     

外平面图度有限制的k-荫度

令ak(G)表示最大度不超过k且能覆盖图G所有边的森林的最小数目.则对于任意的外平面图,当2≤k＜Δ(G)时有ak(G)=「Δ(G)/k.     

On k-Star Arboricity of Graphs

A star forest is a forest whose components are stars. The star arboricity of a graph G,denoted by sa（ G）,is the minimum number of star forests needed to decompose G. Let k be a positive integer. A k-star forest is a forest whose components are stars of order at most k ＋ 1. The k-star arboricity of a graph G,denoted by sak（ G）,is the minimum number of k-star forests needed to decompose G. In this paper,it is proved that if any two vertices of degree 3 are nonadjacent in a subcubic graph G then sa2（ G） ≤2.For general subcubic graphs G, a polynomial-time algorithm is described to decompose G into three 2-star forests. For a tree T and[Δ k, T）/k]t≤ sak（ T） ≤[Δ（ T）- 1/K]＋1,where Δ（ T） is the maximum degree of T.kMoreover,a linear-time algorithm is designed to determine whether sak（ T） ≤m for any tree T and any positive integers m and k.     

不含4-圈和5-圈的平面图的线性2-荫度

线性k-森林是每一个连通分支均为长度不超过k的路的图。一个图G的线性k-荫度是将图G的边集合能分解成的线性k-森林的最少数目,用lak(G)来表示。证明了:若G为不含4-圈和5-圈的平面图,则la2(G)≤「Δ(G)+1/2■+4。
