Fair holey hamiltonian decompositions of complete multipartite graphs and long cycle frames

چکیده
A k-factor of a graph G = (V (G), E(G)) is a k-regular spanning subgraph of G. A k-factorization is a partition of E(G) into k-factors. If V 1 , ..., V p are the p parts of V (K(n, p)) (the complete multipartite graph with p parts, each of size n), then a holey k-factor of deficiency V i of K(n, p) is a k-factor of K(n, p) − V i for some i satisfying 1 ≤ i ≤ p. Hence a holey k-factorization is a set of holey k-factors whose edges partition E(K(n, p)). A holey hamiltonian decomposition is a holey 2-factorization of K(n, p) where each holey 2-factor is a connected subgraph of K(n, p) − V i for some i satisfying 1 ≤ i ≤ p. A (holey) k-factorization of K(n, p) is said to be fair if the edges between each pair of parts are shared as evenly as possible among the permitted (holey) factors. In this talk the existence of fair holey 1-factorizations and of fair holey hamiltonian decompositions of K(n, p) will be discussed, along with a basic introduction to the amalgamation proof technique.

Fair 1-Factorizations and Fair Holey 1-Factorizations of Complete Multipartite Graphs
A k-factor of a graph G is a k-regular spanning subgraph of G. A k-factorization is a partition of E(G) into k-factors. Let K(n, p) be the complete multipartite graph with p parts, each of size n. If V1, ..., Vp are the p parts of V (K(n, p)), then a holey k-factor of deficiency Vi of K(n, p) is a k-factor of K(n, p)− Vi for some i satisfying 1 ≤ i ≤ p. Hence a holey k-factorization is a set of...
متن کاملDecompositions of complete multipartite graphs via generalized graceful labelings
We prove the existence of infinite classes of cyclic Γ-decompositions of the complete multipartite graph, Γ being a caterpillar, a hairy cycle or a cycle. All results are obtained by the construction of d-divisible α-labelings of Γ, introduced in [A. Pasotti, On d-graceful labelings, Ars Combin. 111 (2013), 207–223] as a generalization of classical α-labelings. It is known that such labelings i...
متن کاملEdge-disjoint Decompositions of Complete Multipartite Graphs into Gregarious Long Cycles
The notion of gregarious cycles in complete multipartite graphs was introduced by Billington and Hoffman in 2003 and was modified later by Billington, Hoffman, and Rodger and by Billington, Smith, and Hoffman. In this paper, we propose a new definition of gregarious cycles in complete multipartite graphs which generalizes all of the three definitions. With our definition, we can consider gregar...
متن کاملInternally Fair Factorizations and Internally Fair Holey Factorizations with Prescribed Regularity
Let G be a multipartite multigraph without loops. Then G is said to be internally fair if its edges are shared as evenly as possible among all pairs of its partite sets. An internally fair factorization of G is an edge-decomposition of G into internally fair regular spanning subgraphs. A holey factor of G is a regular subgraph spanning all vertices but one partite set. An internally fair holey ...
متن کاملFair Hamilton Decompositions of Complete Multipartite Graphs
A fair hamilton decomposition of the complete multipartite graph G is a set of hamilton cycles in G whose edges partition the edges of G in such a way that, for each pair of parts and for each pair of hamilton cycles H1 and H2, the difference in the number of edges in H1 and H2 joining vertices in these two parts is at most one. In this paper we completely settle the existence of such decomposi...
