## 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.
If G is a graph on n vertices and r 2 2, w e let m,(G) denote the minimum number of complete multipartite subgraphs, with r or fewer parts, needed to partition the edge set, f(G). In determining m,(G), w e may assume that no two vertices of G have the same neighbor set. For such reduced graphs G, w
For two integers a and b, we say that a bipartite graph G admits an (a, b)bipartition if G has a bipartition (X, Y ) such that |X| = a and |Y | = b. We say that two bipartite graphs G and H are compatible if, for some integers a and b, both G and H admit (a, b)-bipartitions. In this paper, we prove
## Abstract Necessary conditions for the complete graph on __n__ vertices to have a decomposition into 5βcubes are that 5 divides __n__βββ1 and 80 divides __n__(__n__βββ1)/2. These are known to be sufficient when __n__ is odd. We prove them also sufficient for __n__ even, thus completing the spectr
