Resumo


A graph is locally irregular if any pair of adjacent vertices have distinct degrees. A locally irregular decomposition of a graph G is a decomposition of G into subgraphs that are locally irregular. We prove that any graph G can be decomposed into at most 2∆(G) − 1 locally irregular graphs, improving on the previous upper bound of 3∆(G)−2. We also show some results on subcubic and non-decomposable graphs.
