Abstract(in English) Given an undirected graph G=(V, E) with k distinct edges e_i∈E(i=1,…,k), and natural numbers m_i(i=1,…,k) such that m_1+…+m_k=|E|, the k-edge-partition problem with specified bases asks to find a partition E_1…∪E_k of E such that (1)e_i∈E_i, and |E_i|=m_i(i=1,…,k), (2)each E_i induces a connected subgraph. It has been shown that there exists such a partition E_1∪…∪E_k if G is k-edge-connected. If the input graph is k-edge-connected, polynomial time algorithms for solving this problem are known for k=2,3, but no polynomial time algorithm is known for k≥4. In this paper, we generalize the probrem as follows. Given an undirected graph G=(V,E), where each vertex has some labels chosen from a label set {1,…,k}, and natural numbers m_i(i=1,…,k) such that m_1+…+m_k=|E|, the k-edge-partition problem with specified labels asks to find a partition E_1∪…∪E_k of E such that (i)|E_i|= m_i, and (ii) each connected component induced by E_i contains a vertex which has label i. We present a sufficient condition for this problem with k=2,3 to have such a partition, and construct O(|E|) and O(|E|+|V|^2) time algorithms for finding a partition under the condition for k=2 and 3, respectively. And we show that this problem can be solved in O(|E|)(k=2), O(|E|+|V|^2)(k=3) time.
