Let be a graph of order . A path decomposition of is a collection of edge-disjoint paths that covers all the edges of . Let denote the minimum number of paths needed in a path decomposition of . Gallai conjectured that if is connected, then . Let to denote the number of vertices with odd degree in . Lovász proved that if is a connected graph with all vertices having degree odd, i.e. , then . In this paper, we prove that if is a connected graph of order with and is a connected graph of order , then . Furthermore, we prove that , if one of the following is hold: (\romannumeral1) is a tree; (\romannumeral2) , where and is a tree; (\romannumeral3) , where is an even graph.
