Abstract

For a given graph G, we fix s, and partition the vertex set into s classes, so that any given class contains few edges. The result gives a partition (U1,U2,,Us), where e(Ui)e(G)s2+4se(G) for each 1is. The error term is compared to previous results for s=2P [6], and to a result by Bollobás and Scott [1].
