A forest in which every component is path is caned a path forest. A family of path forests whose edge sets form a partition of the set of a graph G is called a path of G. The minimum number of forests in a path decomposition of a graph G is the path number of G and denoted by p( G). If we restrict the number of edges in each path to be at most x then we obtain a special decomposition. The minimum number of path forests in this of decomposition is denoted In this paper we study We note here that if we restrict the size to be one, the number the chromatic index of G. In this paper, we study the special type of path and we obtain the answers for P2( G) when G is a complete graph, a tree and some other graphs.
