摘要

A diametral path of a graph is the geodesic path whose length is equal to the diameter of the graph. Trees having exactly one diametral path are characterised. A maximal path is a path that is not contained in any longer path. We introduce maximal path decomposition as the collection of edge-disjoint maximal paths. We characterise trees that admit maximal path decomposition. An algorithm is developed that outputs the maximal path decompositions and finds the number of maximal path decompositions.
