K4-e Design on Complete Graphs with Holes
by

Coauthors: Dean Hoffman, Auburn University

A complete graph of order n with a hole of size v, Kn/Kv, is a complete graph of order n from which the edges of a complete graph of order v have been removed. Let H be a complete graph with a hole of size v where v(H)= d + v. We investigate when H can be decomposed into edge disjoint isomorphic copies of K4-e. We have nearly completed a proof showing the necessary conditions are also sufficient when d is even. Some work has been done on the case when d is odd.
