Ringel's tree-packing conjecture
Ringel's tree-packing conjecture
Let be a tree with vertices, and let a tree pack into a graph when edge-disjoint copies of it can be placed in that graph.
Ringel's conjecture. Every tree with vertices packs times into the complete graph .
Equivalently, should decompose into edge-disjoint copies of every tree on vertices. The source presents this as a longstanding open problem, alongside an asymptotic version.
