Abstract
Let P_k denote a path on k vertices, and let S_k denote a star with k edges. For graphs F, G, and H, a decomposition of F is a set of edge-disjoint subgraphs of F whose union is F. A (G,H)-decomposition of F is a decomposition of F into copies of G and H using at least one of each. In this paper, necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the (P_{k+1},S_k)-decomposition of the complete bipartite graph with a 1-factor removed are given.
