Title
Packing and Covering Triangles in Tripartite Graphs
Abstract
It is shown that if G is a tripartite graph such that the maximum size of a set of pairwise edge-disjoint triangles is $\nu (G)$, then there is a set C of edges of G of size at most $(2 - \varepsilon )\nu (G)$, such that $E(T) \cap C \not= \emptyset $ for every triangle T of G, where $\varepsilon > 0.044$. This improves the previous bound of $(7/3)\nu (G)$ due to Tuza [6].
