Abstract

top
In this note, we consider the problem of existence of an edge-decomposition of a multigraph into isomorphic copies of 2-edge paths . We find necessary and sufficient conditions for such a decomposition of a multigraph H to exist when (i) either H does not have incident multiple edges or (ii) multiplicities of the edges in H are not greater than two. In particular, we answer a problem stated by Z. Skupień.
