Computational Geometry: Theory and Applications

We solve a problem of Dujmović and Wood (2007) by showing that a complete convex geometric graph on n vertices cannot be decomposed into fewer than n−1 star-forests, each consisting of noncrossing edges. This bound is clearly tight. We also discuss similar questions for abstract graphs.
