On minimum sets of 1-factors covering a complete multipartite graph
نویسندگان
چکیده
We determine necessary and sufficient conditions for a complete multipartite graph to admit a set of 1-factors whose union is the whole graph and, when these conditions are satisfied, we determine the minimum size of such a set. MSC 2000: Primary 05C70; Secondary 05C15.

Ramsey numbers in complete balanced multipartite graphs. Part II: Size numbers
The notion of a graph theoretic Ramsey number is generalised by assuming that both the original graph whose edges are arbitrarily bi–coloured and the sought after monochromatic subgraphs are complete, balanced, multipartite graphs, instead of complete graphs as in the classical definition. We previously confined our attention to diagonal multipartite Ramsey numbers. In this paper the definition...

متن کاملNote on the Path Covering Number of a Semicomplete Multipartite Digraph
A digraph D is called is semicomplete c-partite if its vertex set V (D) can be partitioned into c sets (partite sets) such that for any two vertices x and y in diierent partite sets at least one arc between x and y is in D and there are no arcs between vertices in the same partite set. The path covering number of D is the minimum number of paths in D that are pairwise vertex disjoint and cover ...
متن کاملGeneralized Degree Distance of Strong Product of Graphs
In this paper, the exact formulae for the generalized degree distance, degree distance and reciprocal degree distance of strong product of a connected and the complete multipartite graph with partite sets of sizes m0, m1, . . . , mr&minus1 are obtained. Using the results obtained here, the formulae for the degree distance and reciprocal degree distance of the closed and open fence graphs are co...
متن کاملMaximal Sets of Factors
In this paper, a survey is presented of results concerning maximal sets of factors in graphs. These factors at times satisfy additional structural constraints, such as being connected, or such as requiring each component of each factor to be isomorphic. Each set of factors occurs in some natural family of graphs, including complete graphs and complete multipartite graphs.
