Description (last modified by )
As the docstring says :
Petersen's 2-factor decomposition theorem asserts that any
2r
-regular graph G
can be decomposed into 2-factors.
Equivalently, it means that the edges of any 2r
-regular
graphs can be partitionned in r
sets C_1,\dots,C_r
such
that for all i
, the set C_i
is a disjoint union of cycles
( a 2-regular graph ).
As any graph of maximal degree \Delta
can be completed into
a regular graph of degree 2\lceil\frac\Delta 2\rceil
, this
result also means that the edges of any graph of degree \Delta
can be partitionned in r=2\lceil\frac\Delta 2\rceil
sets
C_1,\dots,C_r
such that for all i
, the set C_i
is a
graph of maximal degree 2 ( a disjoint union of paths
and cycles ).

Hello !!!
As mentionned, I moved this function toward graph.py, and will patiently wait for the splitting of graph.py to begin creating new files.. :-)
(please do not forget to install GLPK or CBC before testing it because of #7734)

I tried to find another example, but could not find any interesting/funny one (the theorem and its proof by themselves are enough to make me laugh :-) ). If you can think of a good one, just tell me and I'll add it :-)

If you're introducing a new module in sage.graphs, the header of the file should be much more descriptive of what the module is for, etc... Take a look at some of the other files for examples.
I'm (personally) very curious about what else you plan on including in
graph_decompositions
...The patch applies cleanly, and the code looks good. Once again, I'd like to see a little more examples in the documentation.
