Abstract

Let G be a tripartite unicyclic graph with eight edges that either (i) contains a triangle or heptagon, or (ii) contains a pentagon and is disconnected. We prove that G decomposes the complete graph Kn whenever the necessary conditions are satisfied. We combine this result with other known results to prove that every unicyclic graph with eight edges other than C% decomposes Kn if and only if n = 0,1 (mod 16).
