β¦ Synopsis
We show that the edges of a 2-connected graph can be partitioned into two color classes so that every vertex is incident with edges of each color and every alternating cycle passes through a single edge. We also show that the edges of a simple graph with minimum vertex degree 6 2 2 can be partitioned into three color classes so that every vertex is incident with edges in exactly two colors and no cycle is alternating.

## Abstract We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an alternating Hamiltonian cycle in a complete bipartite graph whose edge set is colored with two colors.
Grossman and Ha ggkvist gave a sufficient condition under which a two-edgecoloured graph must have an alternating cycle (i.e., a cycle in which no two consecutive edges have the same colour). We extend their result to edge-coloured graphs with any number of colours. That is, we show that if there is
## Abstract Sufficient degree conditions for the existence of properly edgeβcolored cycles and paths in edgeβcolored graphs, multigraphs and random graphs are investigated. In particular, we prove that an edgeβcolored multigraph of order __n__ on at least three colors and with minimum colored degre
In this article we study the monochromatic cycle partition problem for non-complete graphs. We consider graphs with a given independence number (G) = . Generalizing a classical conjecture of Erd" os, GyΓ‘rfΓ‘s and Pyber, we conjecture that if we r-color the edges of a graph G with (G) = , then the ver
