Abstract

An Orthogonal Double Cover of the complete graph is a set of graphs such that every two of them share exactly one edge and every edge of the complete graph belongs to exactly two of the graphs. In this paper we have constructed the ODC of the complete bipartite graph (), for any values of , and all graphs in the collection are isomorphic to the spanning sub-graph
