Abstract

A 2-partition of a graph G is a function f : V (G) →{White; Black}. A 2-partition f of a graph G is locally-balanced with an open neighborhood if for every ϑ ϵ V (G), ||{u ϵ NG(v): f (u) = White} |-| {u ϵ NG(v): f(u) = Black} ≤1; where NG(v) ={u ϵ V (G): uv ϵ E(G) }. A 2-partition f՛ 0 of a graph G is locallybalanced with a closed neighborhood if for every v ϵ V(G), ||{u ϵ NG(v): f՛ (u) = White} |-| {u ϵ NG[v]:; where NG[v] = NG(v)∪{v.} In this paper we give necessary and su±cient conditions for the existence of locally-balanced 2-partitions of complete multipartite graphs
