One can also few the partitions as different coloring of their vertices. === Theorems === From any $v\in X_i$, there can be edges to only the other partitions, i.e. to at most $|V|-|X_i|$ different other vertices. If we sum up the edges for all partitions and divide the double-counting out, we find that for an $k$-partite graph $|E|\le \frac{1}{2}\sum_{i=1}^k |X_i|\cdot (|V|-|X_i|)$ ==== Parents ==== === Subset of === [[Undirected graph]]
