Abstract
There is a sufficiently large such that the following holds. If is a tripartite graph with vertices in each vertex class such that every vertex is adjacent to at least vertices in each of the other classes, then can be tiled perfectly by copies of . This extends work by two of the authors [Electron. J. Combin, 16(1), 2009] and also gives a sufficient condition for tiling by any fixed 3-colorable graph. Furthermore, we show that in our result can not be replaced by and that if is divisible by , then we can replace it with the value and this is tight.
