Path decompositions of chains and circuits

Expressions for the path polynomials (see Farrell [1]) of chains and circuits are derived. These polynomials are then used to deduce results about node disjoint path decompositions of chains and circuits. Some results are also given for decompositions in which specific paths must be used.
