Multidesigns for a graph pair of order 6
Abstract
Given two graphs and , a -multidecomposition of is a partition of the edges of into copies of and such that at least one copy of each is used. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of -multidecomposition of where denotes a cycle of length 6 and denotes the complement of . A -multipacking of is a partition of a subset of the edges of into copies of and such that at least one copy of each is used. The set consisting of the edges of that are not used in any copy of either or is called the \emph{leave} of the multipacking. A -multipacking of is called \emph{maximum} if the cardinality of the leave is minimum with respect to all -multipackings of . A -multicovering of is a -multidecomposition of where some edges can be used repeatedly in copies of or . The (multi)set of repeated edges is called the \emph{padding} of the -multicovering of . A -multicovering is called \emph{minimum} if the cardinality of the padding is minimum with respect to all -multicoverings of . We also characterize the cardinality of the leaves and paddings of maximum -multipackings and minimum -multicoverings of .
