Abstract : We study the following graph partitioning problem: Given two positive integers $C$ and $\Delta$, find the least integer $M(C,\Delta)$ such that the edges of any graph with maximum degree at most $\Delta$ can be partitioned into subgraphs with at most $C$ edges and each vertex appears in at most $M(C,\Delta)$ subgraphs. This problem is naturally motivated by traffic grooming, which is a major issue in optical networks. Namely, we introduce a new pseudodynamic model of traffic grooming in unidirectional rings, in which the aim is to design a network able to support any request graph with a given bounded degree. We show that optimizing the equipment cost under this model is essentially equivalent to determining the parameter $M(C,\Delta)$. We establish the value of $M(C,\Delta)$ for almost all values of $C$ and $\Delta$, leaving open only the case where $\Delta \geq 5$ is odd, $\Delta \pmod{2C}$ is between $3$ and $C-1$, $C\geq 4$, and the request graph does not contain a perfect matching. For these open cases, we provide upper bounds that differ from the optimal value by at most one.
