Abstract • Author Gregory M. Constantine • PublisherSociety for Industrial and Applied MathematicsPhiladelphia, PA, USA • Year of Publication:2005
Abstract It is shown that: • a complete graph with a prime numberp(>2) of vertices can be properly edge-colored withpcolors in such a way that the edges can be partitioned into edge-disjoint multicolored Hamitonian cycles. • When the number of vertices is n (≧8), withna power of two or five times a power of two, a proper edge-coloring of the complete graph exists such that its edges can be partitioned into isomorphic multicolored spanning trees.
Basic terminology • Edge-disjoint :two subgraphs are edge disjoint if they do not share common edges. e.g.
Basic terminology • Multicolored :A graph with colored edges is called multicolored if no two of its edges have the same color. e.g.
Basic terminology • Proper :A coloring of edges of a graph is proper if, whenever two edges have one vertex in common, they carry different colors. e.g.
Basic terminology • unicycle :A connected graph with m vertices and m edges is called a unicycle. e.g.
Background • A classical result of Euler,that the edges of K2n can be partitioned into isomorphic spanning trees (paths). e.g. • Euler also decomposed K2n+1 into n edge-disjoint Hamiltonian cycles. 1 2 we have two paths : 1-2-4-3 and 4-1-3-2 , They are isomorphic spanning paths in K4 4 3
Theorem (a) • For p(>2) prime there exists a proper edge coloring of Kp that admits a partition of edges into multicolored Hamiltonian cycles. Pf: 建立一個演算法. e.g. 1 2 5 1 1 1 3 4 2 2 3 5 5 4 4 3 3 4 5 2
Theorem (b) • For n=2m, m≧3, or n=5*2m, m≧1, there exists a proper edge coloring of Kn that admits a partition of edges into isomorphic multicolored spanning trees. Pf: 略. e.g. 1 2 1 2 6 6 3 3 5 4 5 4
Conjecture • Any proper coloring of the edges of a complete graph on an odd number of vertices allows a partition of the edges into multicolored isomorphic unicyclic subgraphs. • Any proper coloring of the edges of a complete graph on an even number (more than four) of vertices allows a partition of the edges into multicolored isomorphic spanning trees.
