چکیده

We consider the decomposition of the complete bipartite graph K'm,n into isomorphic copies of a d-cube. We present some general necessary conditions for such a decomposition and show that these conditions are sufficient for d 3 and d = 4. We also explore the d-cube decomposition of the complete graph Kn. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such a decomposition are known for d even and for d odd and n odd. We present a general strategy for constructing these decompositions for all values of d. We use this method to show that the necessary conditions are sufficient for d = 3.

The intersection problem for cubes

For all integers m, nand t, we determine necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of (1) a pair of 3-cube decompositions of Kn having precisely t common 3-cubes; and (2) a pair of 3-cube decompositions of Km,n having precisely t common 3-cubes.

The μ-way intersection problem for cubes

A collection of Il 3-cube decompositions of a graph G is said to have intersection size t if there is a set S, with 181 = t, of 3-cubes which is contained in every decomposition, and no 3-cube which is not in S occurs in more than one decomposition. We determine all integers n, t and Il, with Il ::; 12, for which there exists a collection of Il 3-cube decompositions of Kn with intersection size...

Cp-decompositions of some regular graphs

In this paper, for any prime p 11, we consider Cp-decompositions of Km × Kn and Km ∗ Kn and also Cp-factorizations of Km × Kn, where × and ∗ denote the tensor product and wreath product of graphs, respectively, (Km ∗ Kn is isomorphic to the complete m-partite graph in which each partite set has exactly n vertices). It has been proved that for m, n 3, Cp-decomposes Km ×Kn if and only if (1) eith...

Transitive large sets of disjoint decompositions and group sequencings

Let n¿ 3 be an integer, and let k denote either n or n − 1. A large set of disjoint decompositions of K∗ n (Kn) into cycles of length k (denoted by k-LSD), is a partition of the set of all cycles of length k in K∗ n (Kn) into disjoint decompositions of K ∗ n (Kn) (i.e., any two decompositions have no k-cycle in common). Such a large set is transitive, if there exists a permutation group on the ...

Resolvable even cycle decompositions of the tensor product of complete graphs

In this paper, we consider resolvable k-cycle decompositions (for short, k-RCD) of Km ×Kn, where × denotes the tensor product of graphs. It has been proved that the standard necessary conditions for the existence of a k-RCD of Km × Kn are sufficient when k is even. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
