Abstract

Let H be a fixed bipartite graph with δ(H) = 1. It is shown that if G is any graph with n vertices and minimum degree at least n/2(1 + on(1)) and e(H) divides e(G), then G can be decomposed into e(G)/e(H) edge-disjoint copies of H. This is best possible and significantly extends the result of an earlier paper by the author [8] which deals with the case where H is a tree.
