Erdős meets Nash-Williams' conjecture for high-girth triangle decompositions
Let be a -divisible graph, meaning that divides and every vertex has even degree. The girth of a -decomposition is the smallest integer for which some triangles span at most vertices.
Erdős meets Nash-Williams' conjecture. For every integer , every sufficiently large -divisible graph on vertices satisfying
admits a -decomposition with girth at least .
This conjecture combines the high-girth Steiner triple system problem with Nash-Williams' minimum-degree problem. The source presents it as a conjectural common generalization; no resolution is supplied for the exact threshold.
