摘要
In the 1960's, Erdos and Gallai conjectured that the edges of any n-vertex graph can be decomposed into O(n) cycles and edges. We improve upon the previous best bound of O (n log log n) cycles and edges due to Conlon, Fox and Sudakov, by showing an n-vertex graph can always be decomposed into O(n log(star) n) cycles and edges, where log(star) n is the iterated logarithm function. Our arguments make use and further develop the theory of robust sub-linear expander graphs.
