On 1-rotational decompositions of complete graphs into tripartite graphs

Consider a tripartite graph to be any simple graph that admits a proper vertex coloring in at most 3 colors. Let \(G\) be a tripartite graph with \(n\) edges, one of which is a pendent edge. This paper introduces a labeling on such a graph \(G\) used to achieve 1-rotational \(G\)-decompositions of \...

description Consider a tripartite graph to be any simple graph that admits a proper vertex coloring in at most 3 colors. Let \(G\) be a tripartite graph with \(n\) edges, one of which is a pendent edge. This paper introduces a labeling on such a graph \(G\) used to achieve 1-rotational \(G\)-decompositions of \(K_{2nt}\) for any positive integer \(t\). It is also shown that if \(G\) with a pendent edge is the result of adding an edge to a path on \(n\) vertices, then \(G\) admits such a labeling.
