A balanced complete multipartite graph is a complete multipartite graph whose partite sets all have the same cardinality. Equivalently,
it is a complete multipartite graph of the form , also denoted
.
The graph has vertex count
and edge count
.
It is
-regular, has clique
number and chromatic number equal to
, and has independence
number
. Its graph complement
is the disjoint union
.
For
and
, its graph diameter
is 2.
When ,
is the complete
graph on
vertices. Other special cases include balanced complete
bipartite graphs
for
and balanced complete
tripartite graphs
for
.
For
and
, every vertex of
has vertex transmission
so balanced complete multipartite graphs are transmission-regular.
