文摘Abstract. Let D (U, V, W) be an oriented 3-partite graph with | U | = p, |V| = q and |W | = r. For any vertex x in D(U,V,W), let dx^+ and dui^- be the outdegree and indegree ofx respectively. Define aui (or simply ai) = q + r + dui^+ - dui^-, bvj (or simply b j) = p + r + d^+vj - d^-vj and cwk (or simply ck) =p + q + dwk^+ -dwk^- as the scores of ui in U,vj in V and wk in W respectively. The set A of distinct scores of the vertices of D(U, V, W) is called its score set. In this paper, we prove that if a1 is a non-negative integer, ai(2 ≤ i ≤ n - 1) are even positive integers and an is any positive integer, then for n 〉 3, there exists an oriented 3-partite graph with the score set A ={a1,Σ2i=1 ai,…,Σni=1 ai}, except when A = {0, 2, 3}.
