Let G be either a complete graph of odd order or a complete bipartite graph in which each vertex partition has an even number of vertices. In this paper, we determine the set of triples (p, q, r), with p, q, r > 0, for which there exists a decomposition of G into p paths, q stars, and r cycles, each of which has 4 edges.
