We show that this can be achieved for all large $n$. We actually prove a significantly more general result, which allows for decompositions into more general types of factors. In particular, this also resolves the Hamilton-Waterloo problem for large $n$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-06-12T16:58:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "oberwolfach problem", "resolution", "general types", "general result" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 28, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
