5< The cardinal number 1~ 1 will be said the type of the decomposition, and the graphs S will be called. the members of the decomposition in both cases. We mention that the expression decomposition is usually used for the edge decompositions, in some cases vertex decompositions are called colourings. Our problems will be of the following type. Let~ J be a graph and P a property of the graph usually expressing that w is" small" in a certain sense. Let further V be a stronger property usually expressing that the graph having property P'is even" smaller". We investigate the problem if then necessarily has vertex-or-edge-decompositions of relatively small types where the members of the decomposition all have property V.We will investigate these problems in details, when (1) and V are properties expressing that< jP does not contain complete a-graphs. We also have results when the properties in question are that~ does not contain rectangles or is a tree. We are going to discuss the different problems in different sections and we give a short summary of the results there. We have very little information on edge-decomposition problems. We discuss some obviously not final results-for them since we think that some of the open problems are fundamental. Though we have been motivated mostly by infinite graphs when starting this paper almost all the problems are relevant for finite graphs, and there remain some interesting unsolved problems for finite graphs too.
