In this article we find necessary and sufficient conditions to decompose a complete equipartite graph into cycles of uniform length, in the case that the length is both even and short relative to the number of parts.

## Abstract The complete equipartite graph \documentclass{article}\footskip=0pc\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$K\_m \* {\overline{K\_n}}$\end{document} has mn vertices partitioned into __m__ parts of size __n__, with two vertices adjacent if and only if they are in different parts. In this paper,
We prove that any complete multipartite graph with parts of even size can be decomposed into closed trails with prescribed even lengths.
## Abstract It is an open problem to determine whether a complete equipartite graph $K\_m\*{\overline{K}}\_n$ (having __m__ parts of size __n__) admits a decomposition into cycles of arbitrary fixed length $k$ whenever __m__, __n__, and __k__ satisfy the obvious necessary conditions for the existen
