A graph G is said to be factorized into graphs H and K via a matrix product if there exist adjacency matrices A, B, and C for G, H, and K, respectively, such that . Recently, Maghsoudi et al. proved that the complete graph admits a factorization if and only if . In this note, we show that, in contrast to the finite case, the (countably) infinite complete graph admits a factorization via a matrix product. In addition, they showed that the complete bipartite graph has a factorization if and only if both m and n are even. We extend this result to the infinite complete bipartite graph , namely: the infinite complete bipartite graph admits a factorization if and only if the size of the finite part (if it exists) is even. Finally, we show that the n-dimensional grid admits a factorization for all .
期刊介绍:
Linear Algebra and its Applications publishes articles that contribute new information or new insights to matrix theory and finite dimensional linear algebra in their algebraic, arithmetic, combinatorial, geometric, or numerical aspects. It also publishes articles that give significant applications of matrix theory or linear algebra to other branches of mathematics and to other sciences. Articles that provide new information or perspectives on the historical development of matrix theory and linear algebra are also welcome. Expository articles which can serve as an introduction to a subject for workers in related areas and which bring one to the frontiers of research are encouraged. Reviews of books are published occasionally as are conference reports that provide an historical record of major meetings on matrix theory and linear algebra.
