1) V1 There is a universal C such that every n-vertex chordal graph has its edges partitioned into cliques using at most (n²+C n)/6 parts.

Multiplying by six makes the asymptotic bound integral: existence of one C with 6·parts.card≤n²+C n is equivalent to n²/6+O(n). Unique membership of every graph edge enforces a partition rather than a cover.
Scope. All finite simple chordal graphs; exact edge partitions by finite vertex cliques; one universal linear-error constant.
