Nash-Williams' conjecture is a famous unsolved problem about decomposing graphs (abstract networks). Breakthrough results achieved in recent years have shown that the conjecture, along with other major graph decomposition problems, could be solved if only more were known about fractional decomposition. This project aims to clear this bottleneck to progress by dramatically expanding the state of knowledge on fractional decomposition. Expected outcomes include major progress on Nash-Williams' conjecture and related graph decomposition problems. This should enhance Australia's research reputation in pure mathematics and provide benefits in downstream applications areas including statistics, data transmission, and fibre-optic networks.

Nash-Williams猜想是关于分解图（抽象网络）的一个著名的未解问题。近年来取得的突破性成果表明，该猜想，沿着与其他主要的图分解问题，可以解决，只要更多的是知道分数分解。该项目旨在通过极大地扩展分数分解的知识状态来清除这一瓶颈。预期成果包括Nash-Williams猜想和相关图分解问题的重大进展。这将提高澳大利亚在纯数学领域的研究声誉，并为下游应用领域提供好处，包括统计，数据传输和光纤网络。
