Edge-partitioning 3-edge-connected graphs into paths

Abstract

We show that for every l, there exists dl such that every 3-edge-connected graph with minimum degree dl can be edge-partitioned into paths of length l (provided that its number of edges is divisible by l). This improves a result asserting that 24-edge-connectivity and high minimum degree provides such a partition. This is best possible as 3-edge-connectivity cannot be replaced by 2-edge connectivity.
