Let \(G\) be a tripartite graph with \(n\) edges, one of which is a pendent edge. This paper introduces a labeling on such a graph \(G\) used to achieve 1-rotational \(G\)-decompositions of \(K_{2nt}\) for any positive integer \(t\). It is also shown that if \(G\) with a pendent edge is the result of adding an edge to a path on \(n\) vertices, then \(G\) admits such a labeling.", keywords = "graph decomposition, 1-rotational, vertex labeling", issn = "1232-9274" }
