Abstract

A complete tripartite graph without one edge, K̃m1, m2, m3 is called almost complete tripartite graph. A graph K̃m1, m2, m3 that can be decomposed into two isomorphic factors with a given diameter d is called d-halvable. We prove that K̃m1, m2, m3 is d-halvable for a finite d only if d ≤ 5 and completely determine all triples 2m′1 + 1, 2m′2 + 1, 2m′3 for which there exist d-halvable almost complete tripartite graphs for diameters 3,4 and 5, respectively.
