Let G = (V,E) is graph with a non-empty set V containing vertices and a set of edges E. Also note that if H = {H_i⊆G_i = 1,2,3,...,n} is a collection of subgraphs from G with H_i≅Hj,i ≠ j. If Hi ∩ Hj = ∅ and ⋃n(i-1)Hi = G, then graph G admits a decomposition H. Furthermore, if there are f(v) and g(e) which are vertices and edges labeling at G, the total weight of each subgraph H_i,i = 1,2,3,…,n has the same value, namely ∑_(v∈V(H_i))▒〖f(v)〗+∑_(e∈E(H_i))▒〖g(e)〗= w, then the graph G contains the magic H_i decomposition with w as the magic constant. This research shows that the friendship graph F_n with n = 2k + 1 for k∈N admits a magic -(a,d)-C_3 decomposition with a magic constant w of 29dk + 6a + 15d.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
