contents In 1972, Kotzig proved that for every even $n$, the complete graph $K_n$ can be decomposed into $\lceil\log_2n\rceil$ edge-disjoint regular bipartite spanning subgraphs, which is best possible. In this paper, we study regular bipartite decompositions of $(n,d,λ)$-graphs, where $n$ is an even integer and $d_0\leq d\leq n-1$ for some absolute constant $d_0$. With a randomized algorithm, we prove that such an $(n,d,λ)$-graph with $λ\leq d/12$ can be decomposed into at most $\log_2 d + 36$ regular bipartite spanning subgraphs. This is best possible up to the additive constant term. As a consequence, we also improve the best known bounds on $λ= λ(d)$ by Ferber and Jain (2020) to guarantee that an $(n,d,λ)$-graph on an even number of vertices admits a $1$-factorization, showing that $λ\leq cd$ is sufficient for some absolute constant $c > 0$.
