An automorphism group $G$ of a $1$-factorization of the complete multipartite graph $K_{m\times n}$ consists of permutations of the vertices of the graph mapping factors to factors. In this paper, we give a complete answer to the existence problem of a $1$-factorization of $K_{m\times n}$ admitting a cyclic or dihedral group acting sharply transitively on the vertices of the graph.

Permutation decoding method developed by MacWilliams and described in [Permutation decoding of systematic codes, Bell Syst. Tech. J. 43 (1964) 485–505] is a decoding technique that uses a subset of the automorphism group of the code called a PD-set. The complexity of the permutation decoding algorithm depends on the size of the PD-set and finding a minimal PD-set for an error correcting code is a hard problem. In this paper we examine binary codes from the complete-multipartite graph [Formula: see text] and find PD-sets for all values of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Further we show that these PD-sets are minimal when [Formula: see text] is odd and [Formula: see text].

Abstract Caporossi, Chasser and Furtula in [Les Cahiers du GERAD (2009) G-2009-64] conjectured that the distance energy of a complete multipartite graph of order n with r ≥ 2 parts, each of size at least 2, is equal to 4(n − r). Stevanovic, Milosevic, Hic and Pokorny in [MATCH Commun. Math. Comput. Chem. 70 (2013), no. 1, 157-162.] proved the conjecture, and then Zhang in [Linear Algebra Appl. 450 (2014), 108-120.] gave another proof. We give a shorter proof of this conjecture using the interlacing inequalities of a positve semi-definite rank-1 perturbation to a real symmetric matrix.

Given a finite group $G$ of even order, which graphs $\Gamma$ have a $1$-factorization admitting $G$ as automorphism group with a sharply transitive action on the vertex-set? Starting from this question, we prove some general results and develop an exhaustive analysis when $\Gamma$ is a complete multipartite graph and $G$ is cyclic.

The Ohba Conjecture says that every graph $G$ with $|V(G)| \le 2 \chi(G)+1$ is chromatic choosable. This paper studies an on-line version of Ohba Conjecture. We prove that unlike the off-line case, for $k \ge 3$, the complete multipartite graph $K_{2\star (k-1), 3}$ is not on-line chromatic-choosable. Based on this result, the on-line version of Ohba Conjecture is modified as follows: Every graph $G$ with $|V(G)| \le 2 \chi(G)$ is on-line chromatic choosable. We present an explicit strategy to show  that for any positive integer $k$, the graph $K_{2\star k}$ is on-line chromatic-choosable.  We then present a minimal function $g$ for which the graph $K_{2 \star (k-1), 3}$ is on-line $g$-choosable.

Let G be a non-trivial finite group, S ? G \ {e} be a set such that if a 2 S, then a-1 ? S and e be the identity element of G. Suppose that Cay(G, S) is the Cayley graph with the vertex set G such that two vertices a and b are adjacent whenever a-1 ? S. An arbitrary graph is called integral whenever all eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix are integers. We say that a group G is Cayley integral simple whenever every connected integral Cayley graph on G is isomorphic to a complete multipartite graph. In this paper we prove that if G is a non-simple group, then G is Cayley integral simple if and only if G ? Zp2 for some prime number p or G ? Z2 x Z2. Moreover, we show that there exist finite non-abelian simple groups which are not Cayley integral simple.

AbstractLet k := (k1,. . .,ks) be a sequence of natural numbers. For a graph G, let F(G;k) denote the number of colourings of the edges of G with colours 1,. . .,s such that, for every c ∈ {1,. . .,s}, the edges of colour c contain no clique of order kc. Write F(n;k) to denote the maximum of F(G;k) over all graphs G on n vertices. This problem was first considered by Erdős and Rothschild in 1974, but it has been solved only for a very small number of non-trivial cases.We prove that, for every k and n, there is a complete multipartite graph G on n vertices with F(G;k) = F(n;k). Also, for every k we construct a finite optimisation problem whose maximum is equal to the limit of log2F(n;k)/${n\choose 2}$ as n tends to infinity. Our final result is a stability theorem for complete multipartite graphs G, describing the asymptotic structure of such G with F(G;k) = F(n;k) · 2o(n2) in terms of solutions to the optimisation problem.

For given graphs G1,G2,…,Gn and any integer j, the size of the multipartite Ramsey number mj(G1,G2,…,Gn) is the smallest positive integer t such that any n-coloring of the edges of Kj×t contains a monochromatic copy of Gi in color i for some i, 1≤i≤n, where Kj×t denotes the complete multipartite graph having j classes with t vertices per each class. In this paper, we computed the size of the multipartite Ramsey numbers mj(K1,2,P4,nK2) for any j,n≥2 and mj(nK2,C7), for any j≤4 and n≥2.

The energy of a graph is defined as the sum of the absolute values of all eigenvalues of the graph. Akbari et al. [S. Akbari, E. Ghorbani, and M. Oboudi. Edge addition, singular values, and energy of graphs and matrices. {\em Linear Algebra Appl.}, 430:2192--2199, 2009.] proved that for a complete multipartite graph $K_{t_1 ,\ldots,t_k}$, if $t_i\geq 2 \ (i=1,\ldots,k)$, then deleting any edge will increase the energy. A natural question is how the energy changes when $\min\{t_1 ,\ldots,t_k\}=1$. In this paper, a new method to study the energy of graph is explored. As an application of this new method, the above natural question is answered and it is completely determined how the energy of a complete multipartite graph changes when one edge is removed.
