A tournament is an orientation of a complete graph, and in general a multipartite or c-partite tournament is an orientation of a complete c-partite graph. In a recent article, the authors proved that a regular c-partite tournament with $r{\geq}2$ vertices in each partite set contains a cycle with exactly r-1 vertices from each partite set, with exception of the case that c=4 and r=2. Here we will examine the existence of cycles with r-2 vertices from each partite set in regular multipartite tournaments where the r-2 vertices are chosen arbitrarily. Let D be a regular c-partite tournament and let $X{\subseteq}V(D)$ be an arbitrary set with exactly 2 vertices of each partite set. For all $c{\geq}4$ we will determine the minimal value g(c) such that D-X is Hamiltonian for every regular multipartite tournament with $r{\geq}g(c)$.

The complete multipartite graph $K_{n(m)}$ with n $ {\geq}$ 4 partite sets of size m is shown to have a decomposition into 4-cycles in such a way that vertices of each cycle belong to distinct partite sets of $K_{n(m)}$, if 4 divides the number of edges. Such cycles are called gregarious, and were introduced by Billington and Hoffman ([2]) and redefined in [3]. We independently came up with the result of [3] by using a difference set method, and improved the result so that the composition is circulant, in the sense that it is invariant under the cyclic permutation of partite sets. The composition is then used to construct gregarious 4-cycle decompositions when one partite set of the graph has different cardinality than that of others. Some results on joins of decomposable complete multipartite graphs are also presented.

In [8], it is shown that the complete multipartite graph $K_{n(2t)}$ having n partite sets of size 2t, where $n{\geq}6\;and\;t{\geq}1$, has a decomposition into gregarious 6-cycles if $n{\equiv}0,1,3$ or 4 (mod 6). Here, a cycle is called gregarious if it has at most one vertex from any particular partite set. In this paper, when $n{\equiv}0$ or 3 (mod 6), another method using difference set is presented. Furthermore, when $n{\equiv}0$ (mod 6), the decomposition obtained in this paper is ${\infty}-circular$, in the sense that it is invariant under the mapping which keeps the partite set which is indexed by ${\infty}$ fixed and permutes the remaining partite sets cyclically.

A signed 3-partite graph is a 3-partite graph in which each edge is assigned a positive or a negative sign. Let G(U, V, W) be a signed 3-partite graph with $U\;=\;\{u_1,\;u_2,\;{\cdots},\;u_p\},\;V\;=\;\{v_1,\;v_2,\;{\cdots},\;v_q\}\;and\;W\;=\;\{w_1,\;w_2,\;{\cdots},\;w_r\}$. Then, signed degree of $u_i(v_j\;and\;w_k)$ is $sdeg(u_i)\;=\;d_i\;=\;d^+_i\;-\;d^-_i,\;1\;{\leq}\;i\;{\leq}\;p\;(sdeg(v_j)\;=\;e_j\;=\;e^+_j\;-\;e^-_j,\;1\;{\leq}\;j\;{\leq}q$ and $sdeg(w_k)\;=\;f_k\;=\;f^+_k\;-\;f^-_k,\;1\;{\leq}\;k\;{\leq}\;r)$ where $d^+_i(e^+_j\;and\;f^+_k)$ is the number of positive edges incident with $u_i(v_j\;and\;w_k)$ and $d^-_i(e^-_j\;and\;f^-_k)$ is the number of negative edges incident with $u_i(v_j\;and\;w_k)$. The sequences ${\alpha}\;=\;[d_1,\;d_2,\;{\cdots},\;d_p],\;{\beta}\;=\;[e_1,\;e_2,\;{\cdots},\;e_q]$ and ${\gamma}\;=\;[f_1,\;f_2,\;{\cdots},\;f_r]$ are called the signed degree sequences of G(U, V, W). In this paper, we characterize the signed degree sequences of signed 3-partite graphs.

The complete multipartite graph $K_{n(2t)}$ having n partite sets of size 2t, with $n\;{\geq}\;6$ and $t\;{\geq}\;1$, is shown to have a decomposition into gregarious 6-cycles, that is, the cycles which have at most one vertex from any particular partite set. Complete sets of differences of numbers in ${\mathbb{Z}}_n$ are used to produce starter cycles and obtain other cycles by rotating the cycles around the n-gon of the partite sets.

In this work, we confirm a weak version of a conjecture proposed by Hong Wang. The ideal of the work comes from the tree packing conjecture made by Gyárfás and Lehel. Bollobás confirms the tree packing conjecture for many small tree, who showed that one can pack T₁, T₂, …, $T_{n/\sqrt{2}}$ into Kn and that a better bound would follow from a famous conjecture of Erdős. In a similar direction, Hobbs, Bourgeois and Kasiraj made the following conjecture: Any sequence of trees T₁, T₂, …, T_n, with T_i having order i, can be packed into K_n-1,[n/2]. Further Hobbs, Bourgeois and Kasiraj [3] proved that any two trees can be packed into a complete bipartite graph K_n-1,[n/2]. Motivated by the result, Hong Wang propose the conjecture: For each k-partite tree T(𝕏) of order n, there is a restrained packing of two copies of T(𝕏) into a complete k-partite graph B_n+m(𝕐), where $m={\lfloor}{\frac{k}{2}}{\rfloor}$. Hong Wong [4] confirmed this conjecture for k = 2. In this paper, we prove a weak version of this conjecture.

A 3-partite 2-digraph is an orientation of a 3-partite multi-graph that is without loops and contains at most two edges between any pair of vertices from distinct parts. Let D(X, Y, Z) be a 3-partite 2-digraph with ${\mid}X{\mid}=l,\;{\mid}Y{\mid}=m,\;{\mid}Z{\mid}=n$. For any vertex v in D(X, Y, Z), let $d^+_{\nu}\;and\;d^-_{\nu}$ denote the outdegree and indegree respectively of v. Define $p_x=2(m+n)+d^+_x-d^-_x,\;q_y=2(l+n)+d^+_y-d^-_y\;and\;r_z=2(l+m)+d^+_z-d^-_z$ as the marks (or 2-scores) of x in X, y in Y and z in Z respectively. In this paper, we characterize the marks of 3-partite 2-digraphs and give a constructive and existence criterion for sequences of non-negative integers in non-decreasing order to be the mark sequences of some 3-partite 2-digraph.

The vertex set of a digraph D is denoted by V (D). A c-partite tournament is an orientation of a complete c-partite graph. A digraph D is called cycle complementary if there exist two vertex disjoint cycles $C_1$ and $C_2$ such that V(D) = $V(C_1)\;{\cup}\;V(C_2)$, and a multipartite tournament D is called weakly cycle complementary if there exist two vertex disjoint cycles $C_1$ and $C_2$ such that $V(C_1)\;{\cup}\;V(C_2)$ contains vertices of all partite sets of D. The problem of complementary cycles in 2-connected tournaments was completely solved by Reid [4] in 1985 and Z. Song [5] in 1993. They proved that every 2-connected tournament T on at least 8 vertices has complementary cycles of length t and ${\mid}V(T)\mid$ - t for all $3\;{\leq}\;t\;{\leq}\;{\mid}V(T)\mid/2$. Recently, Volkmann [8] proved that each regular multipartite tournament D of order ${\mid}V(D)\mid\;\geq\;8$ is cycle complementary. In this article, we analyze multipartite tournaments that are weakly cycle complementary. Especially, we will characterize all 3-connected c-partite tournaments with $c\;\geq\;3$ that are weakly cycle complementary.

단백질은 아미노산의 선형 중합체(linear polymer)로서 생체의 조직을 구성하고 각종 생화학 반응을 조절하는 역할을 하는 가장 중요한 생체 분자에 속한다. 이러한 단백질의 특성과 기능은 해당 단백질을 구성하는 아미노산의 서열에 의해 결정되기 때문에, 주어진 단백질의 서열을 알아내는 것은 단백질 기능 연구의 출발점이다. 본 논문은 기존의 생화학적 단백질 서열 결정 방법의 단점을 극복할 수 있는 데이터 마이닝 기반 단백질 서열 예측 기법을 제안한다. 복수개의 단백질 절단효소(protease)를 적용함으로써, 서로 중첩된 단백질 조각을 얻어내고, 각 조각의 질량 정보와 단백질 데이타베이스를 이용하여 후보 서열을 식별한다. 얻어진 후보 서열의 조립을 통해 전체 서열을 결정하기 위한, 다중 분할 그래프(multi-partite graph) 구축 및 경로 탐색 기법을 제안한다. 아울러, 대표적인 단백질 서열 데이타베이스인 SWISS-PROT을 이용한 실험을 통해 제안한 방법의 성능을 평가한다.
