## Abstract We consider various edge disjoint partitions of complete bipartite graphs. One case is where we decompose the edge set into edge disjoint paths of increasing lengths. A graph __G__ is __pathβperfect__ if there is a positive integer __n__ such that the edge set __E__(__G__) of the graph

β¦ Synopsis
A 1-factorisation of a graph is perfect if the union of any two of its 1-factors is a Hamiltonian cycle. Let n=p 2 for an odd prime p. We construct a family of ( p -1)/2 non-isomorphic perfect 1-factorisations of K n, n . Equivalently, we construct pan-Hamiltonian Latin squares of order n. A Latin square is pan-Hamiltonian if the permutation defined by any row relative to any other row is a single cycle.

The Strong Perfect Graph Conjecture states that a graph is perfect iff neither it nor its complement contains an odd chordless cycle of size greater than or equal to 5. In this article it is shown that many families of graphs are complete for this conjecture in the sense that the conjecture is true
## Abstract Given a graph __G__, for each Ο β__V__(__G__) let __L__(Ο ) be a list assignment to __G__. The wellβknown choice number __c__(__G__) is the least integer __j__ such that if |__L__(Ο )| β₯__j__ for all Ο β__V__(__G__), then __G__ has a proper vertex colouring Ο with Ο(Ο ) β __L__ (Ο ) (βΟ β__
## Abstract In this paper, it will be shown that the isomorphism classes of regular orientable embeddings of the complete bipartite graph __K__~__n,n__~ are in oneβtoβone correspondence with the permutations on __n__ elements satisfying a given criterion, and the isomorphism classes of them are com
The pagenumber p(G) of a graph G is defined as the smallest n such that G can be embedded in a book with n pages. We give an upper bound for the pagenumber of the complete bipartite graph K m, n . Among other things, we prove p(K n, n ) w2nΓ3x+1 and p(K wn 2 Γ4x, n ) n&1. We also give an asymptotic
A p-intersection representation of a graph G is a map, f, that assigns each vertex a subset of [1, 2, ..., t] The symbol % p (G) denotes this minimum t such that a p-intersection representation of G exists. In 1966 Erdo s, Goodman, and Po sa showed that for all graphs G on 2n vertices, % 1 (G) % 1
