Abalanced coloringof a graphmeans a tripleof mutually disjoint subsets of the vertex-setsuch thatand. Abalanced decompositionassociated with the balanced coloringofis defined as a partition of(for some) such that, for every, the subgraphofis connected and. Then thebalanced decomposition numberof a graphis defined as the minimum integersuch that, for every balanced coloringof, there exists a balanced decompositionsuch that every elementhas at mostvertices. Fujita and Liu (SIAM J Discret Math 24:1597–1616, 2010) proved an interesting theorem which states that the balanced decomposition number of a graphis at mostif and only ifis-connected. Unfortunately, their proof is long (about 10 pages) and complicated. Here we give an immediate proof of the theorem. This proof makes clear a relationship between balanced decomposition number and graph matching.
