Hamilton decomposition is one of the earliest concepts in the field of graph theory. The Hamilton decomposability problem plays a vital role in the study of Combinatorial Design theory. A Harary graph Hk,n is a k-connected simple graph with n vertices and with a minimal number of edges. Constructing Harary graphs and learning about their connectivity is considered to be one of those typical mathematical topics. In fact, the connectivity of Harary graphs addresses a very relevant question in communication networks: trading off the costs between reliability and the number of communication links. In this paper, we investigate the Hamilton decomposition of Harary graphs and its minimum bound for Hamilton decomposition.
