Abstract

It has been shown (Combin. Probab. Comput. 10 (2001) 463-499) that if n is odd and m1,...,mt are integers with mi ≥ 3 and Σi=1t mi = |E(Kn)| then Kn can be decomposed as an edge-disjoint union of closed trails of lengths m1,...,mt. Here we show that the corresponding result is also true for any sufficiently large and sufficiently dense even graph G.
