The achromatic number of \(G\) is the maximum number \(\text{achr}(G)\) of colours in a proper complete vertex colouring of \(G\). In the paper it is proved that \(\text{achr}(K_6 \square K_7)=18\). This result finalises the determination of \(\text{achr}(K_6 \square K_q)\).", keywords = "complete vertex colouring, achromatic number, Cartesian product", issn = "1232-9274" }
