In the event that $X$ is a complete multipartite graph with its automorphism group, the existence of a distinguishing partition is equivalent to the existence of an asymmetric hypergraph with prescribed edge sizes. An asymptotic result is proven on the existence of a distinguishing partition when $X$ is a complete multipartite graph with $m_1$ parts of size $n_1$ and $m_2$ parts of size $n_2$ for small $n_1$, $m_2$ and large $m_1$, $n_2$. A key tool in making the estimate is counting the number of trees of particular classes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-01-19T18:48:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C25", "05C65", "20B25" ], "keywords": [ "complete multipartite graph", "distinguishing partition", "automorphism group", "asymmetric hypergraph", "nontrivial element" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1301.4583G" } } }
