Ukrainian Mathematical Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

We investigate the Beineke problem of the existence of T-factorizations of complete graphs and prove several theorems on the existence of T-factorizations. Using these theorems, we establish the nonexistence of T-factorizations for 32 nonisomorphic admissible trees of order 12.
