For a positive integer d, the usual d-dimensional cube Q d is defined to be the graph (K 2 ) d , the Cartesian product of d copies of K 2 . We define the generalized cube Q(K k , d) to be the graph (K k ) d for positive integers d and k. We investigate the decomposition of the complete multipartite

Abstract
Necessary conditions for the complete graph on n vertices to have a decomposition into 5βcubes are that 5 divides nβββ1 and 80 divides n(nβββ1)/2. These are known to be sufficient when n is odd. We prove them also sufficient for n even, thus completing the spectrum problem for the 5βcube and lending further weight to a longβstanding conjecture of Kotzig. Β© 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract A cube factorization of the complete graph on __n__ vertices, __K~n~__, is a 3βfactorization of __K~n~__ in which the components of each factor are cubes. We show that there exists a cube factorization of __K~n~__ if and only if __n__ β‘ 16 (mod 24), thus providing a new family of unifor
## Abstract A short proof is given of the impossibility of decomposing the complete graph on __n__ vertices into __n__β2 or fewer complete bipartite graphs.
For a complete bipartite graph to be decomposable into isomorphic cubes, certain conditions on the number of cube and bipartition vertices must hold. We prove these necessary conditions sufficient in some cases. For cubes of fixed dimension d (indeed for d-regular bipartite graphs in general) we sho
## Abstract For all odd integers __n__ββ₯β1, let __G~n~__ denote the complete graph of order __n__, and for all even integers __n__ββ₯β2 let __G~n~__ denote the complete graph of order __n__ with the edges of a 1βfactor removed. It is shown that for all nonβnegative integers __h__ and __t__ and all p
