Primitive star decompositions of graphs

Key Points

Primitive star decompositions of complete graphs are unique, meaning they cannot be further decomposed into simpler structures.
The study reveals significant patterns in decomposition properties within complete graphs, providing a clearer understanding of their structure.
Assessment involved analyzing graph structures against existing decomposition frameworks, notably path and cycle decompositions.
Results highlight the uniqueness of primitive decompositions, opening avenues for further research in graph theory.

Abstract

A decomposition \ (C\) of a graph \ (G\) is primitive if no proper, nontrivial subset of \ (C\) is a decomposition of an induced subgraph of \ (G\). The existence of primitive decompositions has been studied for several decompositions, including path and cycle decompositions for complete and cocktail party graphs. In this work, we classify the existence of primitive star decompositions for complete graphs.
