Abstract

In path factorization, Ushio K [1] gave the necessary and sufficient conditions for P_k-design when k is odd. P_2p-Factorization of a complete bipartite graph for p, an integer was studied by Wang [2]. Further, Beiling [3] extended the work of Wang [2], and studied P_2k-factorization of complete bipartite multigraphs. For even value of k in P_k-factorization the spectrum problem is completely solved [1, 2, 3]. However, for odd value of k i . e. P_3,P_5,P_7,P_9 and P_(4k-1), the path factorization have been studied by a number of researchers [4, 5, 6, 7, 8]. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the existences of P_3-factorization of symmetric complete bipartite digraph were given by Du B [9]. Earlier we have discussed the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of P ?_5 and P ?_7-factorization of symmetric complete bipartite digraph [10, 11]. Now, in the present paper, we give the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of P ?_(4k-1)-factorization of symmetric complete bipartite digraph of K_(m,n)^*.
