Abstract: For an m-cycle C, an inside m-cycle of C is a cycle on the same vertex set, that is edge-disjoint from C. In an m-cycle system, (mathcalX,mathcalC), if inside m-cycles can be chosen -one for each cycle- to form another m-cycle system, then (mathcalX,mathcalC) is called an almost 2-perfect m-cycle system. Almost 2-perfect cycle systems can be considered as generalisations of 2-perfect cycle systems. Cycle packings are generalisations of cycle systems that allow to have leaves after decomposition. In this paper, we prove that an almost 2-perfect maximum packing of Kn with 8-cycles of order n exists for each ngeq8. We also construct a maximum 8-cycle packing of order n which is not almost 2-perfect for each ngeq10.
