چکیده

For m ≥ 1 and p ≥ 3, given a set of integers s1, . . . , sq with sj ≥ p + 1 for 1 ≤ j ≤ q and ∑q j=1 sj = mp, necessary and sufficient conditions are found for the existence of a hamilton decomposition of the complete p-partite graph Km,...,m−E(U), where U is a 2-factor of Km,...,m consisting of q cycles, the jth cycle having length sj . This result is then used to completely solve the problem when p = 3, removing the condition that sj ≥ p + 1.

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.

Non-disconnecting disentanglements of amalgamated 2-factorizations of complete multipartite graphs

In this paper necessary and sufficient conditions are found for an edge-colored graph H to be the homomorphic image of a 2-factorization of a complete multipartite graph G in which each 2-factor of G has the same number of components as its corresponding color class in H. This result is used to completely solve the problem of finding hamilton decompositions of Ka,b−E(U) for any 2-factor U of Ka...

Hamilton Cycle Rich 2-factorizations of Complete Multipartite Graphs

For any two 2-regular spanning subgraphs G and H of the complete multipartite graph K, necessary and sufficient conditions are found for the existence of a 2-factorization of K in which (1) the first and second 2-factors are isomorphic to G and H respectively, and (2) each other 2-factor is a hamilton cycle, in the case where K has an odd number of vertices.

Fair 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...

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...
