چکیده

This paper is concerned with the partition of edges of the complete graph Kn and the complete multipartite graph K-m, ... ,-m into subgraphs isomor-phic to cycles. We show that Kn and K-m, ... ,m can be decomposed into certain families of cycles by defining a special decomposition which we call a root path decomposition.

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...

A Difference Set Method for Circular Decompositions of Complete Multipartite Graphs into Gregarious 4-cycles

A cycle in a multipartite graph G is gregarious if it contains at most one vertex from each partite set of G. The complete n-partite graph with partite sets of size m, denoted by Kn(m) is shown to have a decomposition into gregarious 4-cycles. The notion of a gregarious 4-cycle decomposition of this type was introduced in [3]. A 4-cycle decomposition of Kn(m) is circular if it is it is invarian...

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...

Resolvable gregarious cycle decompositions of complete equipartite graphs

The complete multipartite graph Kn(m) with n parts of size m is shown to have a decomposition into n-cycles in such a way that each cycle meets each part of Kn(m); that is, each cycle is said to be gregarious. Furthermore, gregarious decompositions are given which are also resolvable. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
