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 partitione

We prove that if the edges of the complete graph on n ~4 vertices are colored so that no vertex is on more than A edges of the same color, 1 c A < n -2,, then the graph has cycles of all lengths 3 through n with no A consecutive edges the same color.
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
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, Gyárfás and Pyber, we conjecture that if we r-color the edges of a graph G with (G) = , then the ver
