An approximate version of the tree packing conjecture

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We prove that for any pair of constants epsilon>0 and Delta and for n sufficiently large, every family of trees of orders at most n, maximum degrees at most Delta, and with at most edges in total packs into K(1+epsilon)n. This implies asymptotic versions of the Tree Packing Conjecture of Gyarfas from 1976 and a tree packing conjecture of Ringel from 1963 for trees with bounded maximum degree. A novel random tree embedding process combined with the nibble method forms the core of the proof.
