Cycle multiplicity of a graph G is the maximum number of edge disjoint cycles in G. In this paper, we determine the cycle multiplicity of and then obtain the formula of cycle multiplicity of total graph of complete bipartite graph, this generalizes the result for, which is given by M.M. Akbar Ali in [1].

Vertex-distinguishing E-total Coloring of Complete Bipartite Graph K 7,n when7≤n≤95

Let G be a simple graph. A total coloring f of G is called an E-total coloring if no two adjacent vertices of G receive the same color, and no edge of G receives the same color as one of its endpoints. For an E-total coloring f of a graph G and any vertex x of G, let C（x） denote the set of colors of vertex x and of the edges incident with x, we call C（x） the color set of x. If C（u） ≠ C（v） for any two different vertices u and v of V （G）, then we say that f is a vertex-distinguishing E-total coloring of G or a VDET coloring of G for short. The minimum number of colors required for a VDET coloring of G is denoted by Хvt^e（G） and is called the VDE T chromatic number of G. The VDET coloring of complete bipartite graph K7,n （7 ≤ n ≤ 95） is discussed in this paper and the VDET chromatic number of K7,n （7 ≤ n ≤ 95） has been obtained.

Signed Roman (Total) Domination Numbers of Complete Bipartite Graphs and Wheels

A signed(res. signed total) Roman dominating function, SRDF(res.STRDF) for short, of a graph G =(V, E) is a function f : V → {-1, 1, 2} satisfying the conditions that(i)∑v∈N[v]f(v) ≥ 1(res.∑v∈N(v)f(v) ≥ 1) for any v ∈ V, where N [v] is the closed neighborhood and N(v) is the neighborhood of v, and(ii) every vertex v for which f(v) =-1 is adjacent to a vertex u for which f(u) = 2. The weight of a SRDF(res. STRDF) is the sum of its function values over all vertices.The signed(res. signed total) Roman domination number of G is the minimum weight among all signed(res. signed total) Roman dominating functions of G. In this paper,we compute the exact values of the signed(res. signed total) Roman domination numbers of complete bipartite graphs and wheels.

Vertex-distinguishing IE-total Colorings of Complete Bipartite Graphs K8,n

Let G be a simple graph. An IE-total coloring f of G is a coloring of the vertices and edges of G so that no two adjacent vertices receive the same color. For each vertex x of G, let C(x) be the set of colors of vertex x and edges incident to x under f. For an IE-total coloring f of G using k colors, if C(u) ≠ C(v) for any two different vertices u and v of G, then f is called a k-vertex-distinguishing IE-total-coloring of G or a k-VDIET coloring of G for short. The minimum number of colors required for a VDIET coloring of G is denoted by χ_(vt)^(ie) (G) and is called vertex-distinguishing IE-total chromatic number or the VDIET chromatic number of G for short. The VDIET colorings of complete bipartite graphs K_(8,n)are discussed in this paper. Particularly, the VDIET chromatic number of K_(8,n) are obtained.

K_(p,q)-factorization of complete bipartite graphs

Let Km,n be a completebipartite graph with two partite sets having m and n vertices,respectively. A Kp,q-factorization of Km,n is a set ofedge-disjoint Kp,q-factors of Km,n which partition theset of edges of Km,n. When p=1 and q is a prime number,Wang, in his paper 'On K1,k-factorizations of a completebipartite graph' (Discrete Math, 1994, 126: 359-364),investigated the K1,q-factorization of Km,n and gave asufficient condition for such a factorization to exist. In the paper'K1,k-factorizations of complete bipartite graphs' (DiscreteMath, 2002, 259: 301-306), Du and Wang extended Wang's resultto the case that q is any positive integer. In this paper, we give a sufficient condition for Km,n to have aKp,q-factorization. As a special case, it is shown that theMartin's BAC conjecture is true when p:q=k:(k+1) for any positiveinteger k.

Graham's pebbling conjecture on product of complete bipartite graphs

The pebbling number of a graph G,f(G),is the least n such that,no matter how n pebbles are placed on the vertices of G,we can move a pebble to any vertex by a sequence of moves,each move taking two pebbles off one vertex and placing one on an adjacent vertex.Graham conjectured that for any connected graphs G and H,f(G×H)≤f(G)f(H).We show that Graham's conjecture holds true of a complete bipartite graph by a graph with the two-pebbling property.As a corollary,Graham's conjecture holds when G and H are complete bipartite graphs.

The Chromatic Uniqueness of Bipartite Graphs K(m,n)-A with |A|=2

The chromatically uniqueness of bipartite graphs K （m, n） - A（]A] = 2） was studied. With comparing the numbers of partitions into r color classes of two chromatically equivalent graphs, one general numerical condition guaranteeing that K（ m, n） - A （ I A ] = 2） is chromatically unique were obtained. This covers and improves the former correlative results.

The Further Results of the Chromatic Uniqueness of Certain Bipartite Graphs K(m, n)-A

With its comprehensive application in network information engineering （e. g. dynamic spectrum allocation under different distance constraints ） and in network combination optimization （e. g. safe storage of deleterious materials）, the graphs＇ cloring theory and chromatic uniqueness theory have been the forward position of graph theory research. The later concerns the equivalent classification of graphs with their color polynomials and the determination of uniqueness of some equivalent classification under isomorphism. In this paper, by introducing the concept of chromatic normality and comparing the number of partitions of two chromatically equivalent graphs, a general numerical condition guarenteeing that bipartite graphs K （ m, n） - A （A belong to E（K （m, n） ） and ｜ A ｜≥ 2） is chromatically unique was obtained and a lot of chromatic uniqueness graphs of bipartite graphs K（m, n） - A were determined. The results obtained in this paper were general. And the results cover and extend the majority of the relevant results obtained within the world.

Minus total k-subdomination in graphs

Let G = (V,E) be a simple graph without isolated vertices. For positive integer k, a 3-valued function f : V → {-1,0,1} is said to be a minus total k-subdominating function (MTkSF) if sum from (u∈N(v)) to f(u)≥1 for at least k vertices v in G, where N(v) is the open neighborhood of v. The minus total k-subdomination number γkt(G) equals the minimum weight of an MTkSF on G. In this paper, the values on the minus total k-subdomination number of some special graphs are investigated. Several lower bounds on γkt of general graphs and trees are obtained.

Total Chromatic Number of the Join of K_(m,n) and C_n

The total chromatic number xT（G） of a graph G is the minimum number of colors needed to color the elements（vertices and edges） of G such that no adjacent or incident pair of elements receive the same color, G is called Type 1 if xT（G） =△（G）＋1. In this paper we prove that the join of a complete bipartite graph Km,n and a cycle Cn is of Type 1.

The Thickness of Some Complete Bipartite and Tripartite Graphs

In this paper,we obtain the thickness for some complete k-partite graphs for k=2,3.We first compute the thickness of K_(n,n+8)by giving a planar decomposition of K_(4k-1,4k+7)for k≥3.Then,two planar decompositions for K_(1,g,g)(g-1)when g is even and for K^(1,g,1/2(g-1)2)when g is odd are obtained.Using a recursive construction,we also obtain the thickness for some complete tripartite graphs.The results here support the long-standing conjecture that the thickness of K_(m,n)is[mn/2(m+n-2)]for any positive integers m,n.
