文摘The linear arboricity la(G) of a graph G is the minimum number of linear forests which partition the edges of G. Akiyama, Exoo and Harary conjectured that la(G) = [△(G)+1/2] for any regular graph G. In this paper, we prove the conjecture for some composition graphs, in particular, for complete multipartite graphs.
