Title A name given to the resource Pendant number of graphs Subject The topic of the resource Decomposition; Hamilton decomposition; Path decomposition; Pendant number Description An account of the resource A decomposition of a graph G is a collection of its edge disjoint sub-graphs such that their union is G. A path decomposition of a graph is a decomposition of it into paths. In this paper, we define the pendant number ?p as the minimum number of end vertices of paths in a path decomposition of G and determine this parameter for certain fundamental graph classes. 2018 Academic Publications.
