Title
On a Problem of Judicious k-Partitions of Graphs.
Abstract
For positive integers kï¾ź2 and m, let gkm be the smallest integer such that for each graph G with m edges there exists a k-partition VG=V1ï¾ź'ï¾źVk in which each Vi contains at most gkm edges. Bollobás and Scott showed that gkmï¾źmk2+k-12k22m+1/4-1/2. Ma and Yu posed the following problem: is it true that the limsup of mk2+k-12k22m-gkm tends to infinity as m tends to infinity? They showed it holds when k is even, establishing a conjecture of Bollobás and Scott. In this article, we solve the problem completely. We also present a result by showing that every graph with a large k-cut has a k-partition in which each vertex class contains relatively few edges, which partly improves a result given by Bollobás and Scott.
