A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a decomposition of A&, irto stars is given. A complete multigraph AK, is a complete graph & in which every edge is taken A times. A complete multigraph A&, is said to have a G-decomposition G[h, v] if it is a union of edge disjoint subgraphs
Usual edge colorings have been generalized in various ways; we wilI consider here essentially good edge colorings as well as equitable edge colorings. It is known that bipartite multigraphs present the property of having an equitable k-coloring for each k 3 2. This implies that they also have a good
Graham and Pollak 121 proved that n -1 is the minimum number of edge-disjoint complete bipartite subgraphs into which the edges of K,, decompose. Tverberg 161, using a linear algebraic technique, was the first to give a simple proof of this result. We apply Tverberg's technique to obtain results for
