Let G = (V, β¬1 be a finite, simple p-partite graph with minimum degree 6 and edge-connectivity A. It is proved that if IVI d (2pS)/(p -1) -2 or in special cases that if IVI I ( 2 p 6 ) / ( p -1) -1, then A = S . It is further shown that this result is best possible.

β¦ Synopsis
An edge dominating set in a graph G is a set of edges D such that every edge not in D is adjacent to an edge of D. An edge domatic partition of a graph C=(V, E) is a collection of pairwise-disjoint edge dominating sets of G whose union is E. The maximum size of an edge domatic partition of G is called the edge domatic number. In this paper, we study the edge domatic number of the complete partite graphs and give the answers for balanced complete partite graphs and complete split graphs.

Sumner and Blitch defined a graph G to be k-y-critical if 7(G) = k and 7(G + uv) = k -1 for each pair u, v of nonadjacent vertices of G. We define a graph to be k-( 7,d)-critical if 7(G) = k and 7(G + uv) = k -I for each pair u, v of nonadjacent vertices of G that are at distance at most d apart. Th
We show that a minimal imperfect graph \(G\) cannot contain a cutset \(C\) which induces a complete multi-partite graph unless \(C\) is a stable set and \(G\) is an odd hole. This generalizes a result of Tucker, who proved that the only minimal imperfect graphs containing stable cutsets are the odd
A graph G is m-partite if its points can be partitioned into m subsets Yl, . . . . Vm such that every line joins a point in Vi with a point in Vi, i + j. A complete m-partite graph contains every line joining Vi with V-. A complete graph Kp has every pair of its p points adjacent. The nth interchang
