Abstract: | If is a tree then – T denotes the additive hereditary property consisting of all graphs that does not contain T as a subgraph. For an arbitrary vertex v of T we deal with a partition of T into two trees , , so that , , , , and . We call such a partition a of T. We study the following em: Given a graph G belonging to –T. Is it true that for any -partition , of T there exists a partition of the vertices of G such that and ? This problem provides a natural generalization of Δ-partition problem studied by L. Lovász (L. Lovász, On decomposition of graphs. Studia Sci. Math. Hungar. 1 (1966) 237–238]) and Path Partition Conjecture formulated by P. Mihók (P. Mihók, Problem 4, in: M. Borowiecki, Z. Skupien (Eds.), Graphs, Hypergraphs and Matroids, Zielona Góra, 1985, p. 86]). We present some partial results and a contribution to the Path Kernel Conjecture that was formulated with connection to Path Partition Conjecture. |
