Message-ID: <29790@usc> Date: 2 Feb 91 09:47:28 GMT Sender: news@usc Followup-To: sci.math Organization: University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA Lines: 18 Nntp-Posting-Host: durga.usc.edu Originator: rao@durga.usc.edu I am interested in the following graph problem. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Given an undirected graph G over n*n vertices such that the degree of each vertex is bounded by a constant, say d. Is the vertex set of such graphs always partitionable into n sets, V1, V2, ... , Vn of n vertices each, such that the number of edges in E(i,j), for all i,j ranging from 1,...,n, is bounded by a constant (a function of d), where E(i,j) = set of edges with one end in Vi and another in Vj ? ------------------------------------------------------------------ If anyone has ideas on the solution to this problem, or references to this or similar problems, please send me email at rao@durga.usc.edu Thanks, Anil Rao.
