Decompositions of complete graphs into triangles and Hamilton cycles

For all odd integers n greater than or equal to 1, let G(n) denote the complete graph of order n, and for all even integers n greater than or equal to 2 let G,, denote the complete graph of order n with the edges of a 1-factor removed. It is shown that for all non-negative integers h and t and all positive integers n, G, can be decomposed into h Hamilton cycles and t triangles if and only if nh + 3t is the number of edges in G(n).

On Hamilton cycle decomposition of 6-regular circulant graphs

The circulant graph Sn, where S ⊆ Zn \ {0}, has vertex set Zn and edge set {{x, x + s}|x ∈ Zn, s ∈ S}. It is shown that there is a Hamilton cycle decomposition of every 6-regular circulant graph Sn in which S has an element of order n.
