Abstract : We prove that if T1,…, Tn is a sequence of bounded degree trees so that Ti has i vertices, then Kn has a decomposition into T1,…, Tn. This shows that the tree packing conjecture of Gyárfás and Lehel from 1976 holds for all bounded degree trees.
We deduce this result from a more general theorem, which yields decompositions of dense quasi-random graphs into suitable families of bounded degree graphs.
In this talk, we discuss the ideas used in the proof.
