Gyárfás's tree-packing conjecture

Let T1,,TnT_1,\ldots,T_n be trees such that TkT_k has kk vertices for every kk with 1kn1\leq k\leq n, and let KnK_n be the complete graph on nn vertices. Gyárfás's tree-packing conjecture. The trees T1,,TnT_1,\ldots,T_n pack into KnK_n. The paper presents this as the conjecture it proves, so it is resolved by the source's claimed result.
