A co-complete bipartite graph is a bipartite graph G = (V1; V2;E) such that for any two vertices u; v 2 Vi, i = 1; 2, there exists P3 containing them. A co-complete k-partite graph G = (V1; V2; :::; Vk;E), k 2 is a graph with smallest number k of disjoint parts in which any pair of vertices in the same part are at distance two. The number of parts in co-complete k-partite graph Gis denoted by k(G). In this paper, we initiate a study of this class in graphs and we obtain a characterization for such graphs. Each set in the partition has subpartitions such that each set in the subpartition induces K1 or any two vertices in this subpartition are joined by P3 and this result has significance in providing a stable network.
