Abstract

Let τ(G) be the minimum number of complete bipartite subgraphs needed to partition the edges of G. Let Gn be the weak product of cliques, Kn1x...xKn1. This graph has vertices {x:0≤xi<ni}, with edges between those vectors that differ in each coordinate. Theorem: τ(Gn) = ∑Π |S|eveniε{lunate}S (ni-1).
