چکیده

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 decompositions. The proof is constructive, using the method of amalgamations (graph homomorphisms).

Fair Factorizations of the Complete Multipartite Graph and Related Edge-Colorings by

In this dissertation, first the technique of vertex amalgamations is used to extend known results on graph decompositions, and in particular on decompositions of the complete multipartite graph K(n, p) with p parts, each of which has n vertices. The decompositions focus on hamilton cycles and 1-factors that satisfy certain fairness notions, as well as frame versions of these results where each ...

Hamilton decompositions of complete bipartite graphs with a 3-factor leave

We show that for any 2-factor U of Kn,n with n odd, there exists a hamilton decomposition of Kn,n − E(U) with a 1-factor leave. Settling this last open case now provides necessary and sufficient conditions for a hamilton decomposition of any complete multipartite graph with the edges of any 2-factor removed.

Edge-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...

Decompositions 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...

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

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 ...
