Gy\\'arf\\'as and Lehel proved that the conjecture holds in some special cases. We address the problem of packing trees into $k$-chromatic graphs. In particular, we prove that if all but three of the trees are stars then they have a packing into any $k$-chromatic graph. We also consider several other generalizations of the conjecture.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2011-10-21T18:37:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "generalizations", "chromatic graph", "gyarfas tree packing conjecture asserts", "special cases", "complete graph" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1104.0642G" } } }
