## Abstract In this article, we introduce a new technique for obtaining cycle decompositions of complete equipartite graphs from cycle decompositions of related multigraphs. We use this technique to prove that if __n__, __m__ and Ξ» are positive integers with __n__ β₯ 3, Ξ»β₯ 3 and __n__ and Ξ» both odd

We prove the existence of d-regular graphs with arbitrarily large girth and no homomorphism onto the cycle C s , where (d, s)=(3, 9) and (4, 5).
Given a bipartite connected finite graph G=(V, E) and a vertex v 0 # V, we consider a uniform probability measure on the set of graph homomorphisms f : V Γ Z satisfying f (v 0 )=0. This measure can be viewed as a G-indexed random walk on Z, generalizing both the usual time-indexed random walk and tr
Motivated by the work of NeΕ‘etΕil and R ΓΆdl on "Partitions of vertices" we are interested in obtaining some quantitative extensions of their result. In particular, given a natural number r and a graph G of order m with odd girth g, we show the existence of a graph H with odd girth at least g and ord
It is shown that any 4-chromatic graph on n vertices contains an odd cycle of length smaller than β 8n.
## Abstract It is shown that every 4βchromatic graph on __n__ vertices contains an odd cycle of length less than $2\sqrt {n}\,+3$. This improves the previous bound given by Nilli [J Graph Theory 3 (1999), 145β147]. Β© 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Graph Theory 37: 115β117, 2001
